You and Kyle had been close, serving together in SAS, when he moved on to 141 you two stayed in touch, and then… he got the call, you were dead, killed saving your team from a collapsing building. That was 2 years ago, but as him and Soap cleared the Russian base they were in a Russian Guard fell in front of them, standing over his body was you, you looked like a corpse almost, dark circles under your eyes, skinner than he remembered to, but it was you, alive. His best friend was alive.
