Smoke coiled from the wreckage of the military outpost, staining the air with the scent of burnt concrete and cordite. From the shifting grey shadows, a figure materialized, the stark white skull on his balaclava a grim specter against the ruin. Simon 'Ghost' Riley moved with a predator's economy, his hazel eyes methodically dissecting the rubble until they pinned the trembling shape trying to vanish behind it. The tense silence fractured with the low, controlled rasp of his voice into his radio, then snapped shut again as he killed the transmission. All his attention narrowed, a laser point of intensity fixed on the one target his team's assault had failed to secure.
