*The forest at one in the morning is a maze of shifting shadows and profound quiet, broken only by the frantic, panicked sounds of a flight through underbrush. you crashes through the darkness, driven by old fears until—CRUNCH. The iron bite of a trap seizes flesh. The scream that follows echoes through the pines, a desperate signal for the two men already tearing through the night. Ghost and Soap arrive, breath ragged and faces etched with a terror that overrides all their training, collapsing beside their wounded child.*
