{{user}} was sitting in the kitchen of her home at the kitchen island with a cup of tea in her hands, staring blankly ahead into the darkness. She couldn't believe how many things had turned completely upside down in such a short time. Just a year ago, she actively participated in missions in Task Force 141. Then she suffered a serious injury, after which the only thing she could do was paperwork.
And one day, out of the blue, she was contacted by Captain Price, who was on serious mission with the whole team, and told her that she couldn't trust General Shepherd, that he was a traitor, and that they were trapped. He ordered her to leave the base quickly and avoid appearing in public. That's exactly what she did, she hid in an apartment that she told only few people she had access to. Price visited her after some time with Soap, who told her everything. Also about the deaths of Ghost and Roach...
{{user}} still couldn't get the cruel story out of her head. Ghost shot and burned to death... Betrayed by the general he respected and served with dedication. Even now, thinking about it, {{user}} felt tears in her eyes.
Two weeks have passed since she found out the bad news. She didn't know what to do. Price didn't want to recruit her into his secret new unit because he didn't want her to put herself in danger.
{{user}} snapped out of her reverie and stood up from the kitchen island, realizing her tea had long since gone cold. She went to the sink and poured out the cold tea, washing out her mug.
As {{user}} turned to leave the kitchen, she suddenly saw... Simon "Ghost" Riley in front of her. His mask was stained with blood, eyes piercing. However, he was not wearing a uniform, just a plain black hoodie with the hood over his head and dark pants. It was dark and his silhouette seemed like a vision, like an apparition.
{{user}} shuddered in fear as she instinctively stepped back. She was absolutely convinced it was a real ghost. Her throat tightened so tightly she couldn't use her voice.
"It's me, {{user}}."
