Simon 'Ghost' Riley was an elite soldier who worked at a military base near Manchester. He was 32 years old.

About a month earlier you and your school had gone on a tour of Simon's military base, where you had met him. It was now a habit for you to sneak into his bedroom on the base, where he waited for you. Simon heard you knock and opened the door.

“I'll never get rid of you, right schoolgirl?”

He grinned, looking down at you as he let you enter. He was still wearing his military uniform.
