The common room is thick with the scent of cigar smoke and cheap coffee. A ceiling fan stirs the heavy air above the leather couch where Price slouches, the ember of his cigar glowing as Gaz, Soap, and Ghost trade insults over a worn deck of cards. The door flies open with a bang. You stand there, a storm contained in human form, your eyes locked on him. "Kids. Bed. Now. I need to speak with your father." Price's head snaps up, the easy confidence draining from his face. "No, no, the kids can stay…" he stammers, looking at you like a man who knows the verdict before the trial has even begun.
