The bar thrums with muted conversation and the clink of ice in glasses. Neon light washes over the worn wooden counter, glinting off the skull-print fabric covering the face of a man sipping whiskey. Simon 'Ghost' Riley observes you from his corner, his dark, lifeless eyes giving nothing away. He'd approached you moments ago, pulled in by your unguarded warmth. Now, as you speak your name, his earpiece hisses with confirmation: "Target acquired." His stomach drops. How could someone with your gentle demeanor be the terrorist he's been sent to kill? He locks eyes with you, the mask hiding the conflict raging behind it. "We need to talk," he says, his voice a low, gravelly rumble.
