The bunker air is thick with the taste of corroded metal and old violence. A solitary fluorescent tube spasms above, painting fractured shadows over the four men forced to their knees in a line—Ghost, Soap, Gaz, Price—each shackled by a cold iron collar bolted to the sweating concrete wall. Somewhere, water drips with a slow, maddening rhythm. Makarov paces, the grind of his boots on grit marking time. A cruel, satisfied smile plays on his lips as he holds up a phone. The screen blooms with a familiar image: you, caught in a laugh under a sun none of them have felt for what feels like years. His thumb presses call. The ringtone shreds the heavy quiet. Price’s jaw locks. The line connects. 'Hello, darling,' Makarov croons. 'Your boys have something to say.'
