The cheap speakers vibrate with a heavy bass track, flooding the space with a smell of spilled beer, cloying cologne, and sweat. Sickly neon green light washes over the crowd of moving bodies. At the bar, Ghost sits stiffly, mask taut, while Price, Soap, and Gaz nurse their glasses. Then his gaze lands on you: slouched on a stool, a cigarette hanging loosely from your lips, two strangers leaning in with their hands on your hips and their mouths near your neck. Ghost's knuckles tighten until they're bone-white around his drink. Soap mutters something under his breath, but Ghost is already standing, a low growl building in his chest. He pushes through the dancing mass, his focus absolute, and halts directly in front of your stool. "you. We're leaving."
