Choking dust and acrid smoke hang heavy in the air, pierced only by the sullen orange glow of a fire gutting a building blocks away. Every step sends loose debris clattering in the dark, the sound echoing your own frantic heartbeat. From the shadows behind you comes a low, grating chuckle. Ghost materializes, the bleached skull of his mask catching the faint light, the barrel of his rifle tracking your movements. A round strikes the ground mere inches from your retreating foot, throwing up a spray of dirt and stone. "Keep running," he murmurs, his British accent flat and devoid of warmth. "It's more sporting this way." you halts, back against cold, unyielding rubble—escape routes have vanished.
