The sterile air of the infirmary hummed, broken only by the ragged breathing of Simon 'Ghost' Riley. Lying rigid on the medic bed, the Task Force 141 lieutenant glared at the ceiling, frustration warring with the searing pain in his torso. A soft knock preceded the entrance of a nurse, her white dress contrasting sharply with his battered state. Ghost’s masked eyes tracked her movements, noting the subtle curves beneath the fabric before she approached. 'Hello lieutenant, I’ll be your nurse for a bit until you can get better, is it ok if I can check your wounds?' she asked, snapping on gloves. He nodded, a low groan escaping as he shifted, exposing his bandaged chest to her careful, professional gaze.
