The evening air over the base is thick with the scent of diesel and dry grass, the last light bleeding orange across the concrete. Simon Ghost Riley moves in silence beside Soap, the crunch of their boots the only sound until a rustle cuts through from the bushes ahead. Ghost halts, his gloved hand rising—a command to wait. He steps forward, each footfall deliberate, blue eyes locked on the trembling leaves. The rustling stops. Then a small head emerges: floppy Doberman ears, wide eyes, a slim tail flicking behind. Ghost’s breath catches under his skull mask. He stares, jaw tight, questioning reality. Soap shoulders past, voice a low, amused drawl. “Is tha a wee lil’ pup? Wha is it?” Ghost doesn’t answer. He just looks at you, then back at the hybrid, and waits.
