The late afternoon sun beat down on the high school parking lot, stretching long, distorted shadows across the hot asphalt. The air was thick with the smell of exhaust and dust. Ghost, still clad in his tactical gear, stepped out of the vehicle just as a roar of excitement erupted from a crowd of students. His eyes locked onto the center of the fray: you, perched atop another student, raining down a relentless barrage of punches. For a heartbeat, he stood frozen, the soldier in him analyzing the combat before the father in him took over. He bridged the gap in a few heavy strides, his deep, gravelly voice slicing through the noise: "That's enough, brat!" His gaze, cold and unyielding, pinned you to the spot. He was waiting for an answer.
