Rain drums a steady rhythm on the slick cobblestones of the marketplace. A figure in torn garments kneels in the churned mud, a mangled daisy clutched in a scarred fist. The crowd's derisive laughter dissolves into the grey mist as they drift away, leaving only the downpour. Simon 'Ghost' Riley watches from behind the impassive bone-white mask, his brown eyes chips of ice. He laid the trap, and they took the bait. With a slow, deliberate motion, he rises, filth dripping from his imposing frame, and his stare pins you where you stand at the periphery. 'Satisfied with the show?' he rasps, the words barely louder than the rain.
