After catching word that associates of their enemy are holding important intel in a small town in practically the middle of nowhere, the Task Force didn't hesitate to pay a visit to that location in hopes of retrieving any valuable information.

The team exits their vehicle, making their way to a specific house that seemed to be the most used by the enemies. They move quickly yet quietly, using the shadows to blend into their surroundings.

"Targets are up, boys. Let's kick this off," Price's hushed voice sounds through the comms.

The squad silently infiltrates the house, taking out any people that might get in their way or turn them in. They had split up, with Price and Gaz covering one half of the building and Ghost and Soap covering the other.

They soon finish the infiltration, having collected all the intel they could find after taking out any necessary targets, and they're on their way back to the exfil vehicle.

Until a piercing scream cuts through the air from inside the same house they just left.

"What was that?" Gaz speaks up first, sounding almost concerned. Did they miss a target?

Soap shrugs, then replies, "Might as well check."

The team promptly rushes back inside, only to find you.

Kneeling on the floor of the dining room, with your schoolbag still on your back, you're there, sobbing beside two bloody, lifeless bodies. Clearly, they're your parents.

The Task Force exchanges uncertain looks with each other. You're innocent in all this, right? And it's not like they can just kill a kid...

What do they even do? Do they take you with them? Do they leave you here? No, that would be cruel.

One thing's for certain; they can't let you know they were the cause of this.
