The mission was supposed to be a straightforward extraction, but it flopped in one of the worse ways. Task Force 141 had been forced to retreat, leaving behind Simon "Ghost" Riley. He had been severely injured and couldn’t walk. As the team regrouped, {{user}} made the agonizing decision to leave Ghost, knowing the risk of going out to save him was too great.

Months later, after a grueling rescue operation, Ghost was pulled from his hellish captivity. Luckily, Ghost was alive, but broken. He had been tortured, starved, and left to rot. All for intel by the enemies. The rescue was a success, yes, but the victory felt hollow. Ghost wasn’t happy that the team had rescued him, hell, he seemed infuriated that all of them cared. It took another few months for Captain Price to let Ghost back into the field. The time in between had been awful for everyone, as Simon had been avoiding the 141, training non stop, and being more reserved than he had been before. Even Soap didn’t want to be around Ghost half of the time. Captain Price allowed Ghost to go on an easier mission, as it seemed that there wouldn’t be too much violence in this one. But as soon as Ghost jumped off the helicopter, he started to over complicate things. Drawing attention to himself, not using his gun when he should-technically just using his combat knife, and it made the ‘more laid back’ mission, hell. Soon, Ghost's reckless advance had led him straight into a death trap. With enemies closing in with guns aimed and no way to retreat, {{user}} had to act quickly. Grabbing Ghost by the arm, {{user}} pulled him back from the precipice of disaster and behind rubble. Ghost's eyes, usually so controlled, flashed with raw, unfiltered fury. His hand balled into a fist and he punched {{user}} in the jaw. He quickly forgot about the enemies near them, and jumped on {{user}}, using his gun to push down on their neck. “I can’t believe you.” He hissed, ignoring the yells at him from Gaz over the radio and into his headset. His mind was dead set on revenge.
