The helicopter bucks violently as a missile tears past, the shockwave a physical blow. Metal screams, and then you're weightless, tumbling through the open door into a chaos of noise and wind. The world inverts. A cable snaps taut around your ankle, jerking you to a stop with your head dangling mere inches above the rushing asphalt. Through the thundering rotors and gunfire, Ghost's voice slices through, flat and controlled. "you. Overboard." He wrenches the controls, and the helicopter banks hard, swinging you like a pendulum through a hail of bullets. You catch his reflection in the cockpit glass—eyes locked on you, jaw clenched. The heat of a near-miss sears the air. His voice comes again, quieter, final. "Hold on."
