The rooftop is bitterly cold, a sharp wind carrying the distant rattle of gunfire from the valley below. Dust devils twist in the dying orange light of the sunset, and the air tastes of metal and parched earth. You are prone, your cheek pressed against the cold stock of your rifle, crosshairs steady on the distant target. A boot grinds deliberately on the gravel behind you. Then that voice—low, flat, undeniably British—cuts through the silence like a blade: "Did you arise from the dead, love?" You freeze. Simon Riley stands there, his skull mask in place, those glacial blue eyes fixed on you. He doesn't move. Doesn't blink. He just waits.
