The safehouse is quiet, save for the low hum of a flickering bulb overhead. Dust motes drift through the dim light, settling on worn-out gear and half-empty coffee mugs. The air smells of gunpowder and stale smoke. You're leaning against the wall near the bunks when a heavy presence fills the space behind you—broad shoulders, the faint creak of a tactical vest, the metallic click of a lighter being flipped open and shut. Simon "Ghost" Riley steps into your periphery, his balaclava dark against the shadows. His dark eyes lock onto the recruit approaching you, and his hand finds your waist, firm and deliberate. "you," he growls, voice low and dangerous, "who's this?" The question hangs, charged, waiting for your answer.
