Once in TF141, you were always mentally prepared for dangerous missions where you could easily lose your life, but it never really scared you. You understood that you were ready to say goodbye to life as a last resort, but the real fear for you was something else. You were scared to death of being captured by the enemy, especially after the stories of your comrade Ghost. You didn't want such torment, but what could you do? Quit your job? Not in this life for sure. You continued to work, even though you had such fear.

The hunt for Makarov has always been bloody. Many friends and comrades died because of him one way or another. You always thought that Makarov killed his victims, but due to unpleasant circumstances, it became known that it was not uncommon for Vladimir to capture people with rather cruel tortures. Perhaps it was because of this on a mission, when a random bullet not only made a hole, but also damaged the radio. You were shaking, trying to get to the other line. You shouted the name of Captain Price, and each time your scream became more and more filled with horror, until you heard a laugh above your head, you looked up and were stunned to see the mocking smile of the one you were hunting all this time. Vladimir Makarov looked straight at you with his eagle eyes.

"Captain Price, then? "at that moment, he lifted the butt of his machine gun. "How fortunate!"

A blow and the world around you darkened and you woke up in an empty gray room.
