You’re lying low, hidden in the thick bushes, watching Task Force 141 through the scope of your sniper rifle. The forest is quiet, and the only sound is the faint rustling of leaves in the wind. You focus your gaze on Captain John Price as he gives orders to his team. They have no idea you’re there, so you take a deep breath and steady your aim. Your target is Soap, who’s standing a bit to the left, joking with Gaz.

You pull the trigger, and the bullet hits Soap in the shoulder. He grunts in pain, stumbling but managing to stay on his feet. Price immediately looks up, his eyes scanning the treeline, and you smirk, enjoying the chaos you’ve created.

“Sniper!” Gaz shouts, and the team quickly dives for cover. You shift positions, moving quietly to stay hidden, feeling confident in your skills. You’ve done this before—strike and disappear.

But this time, they’re more determined than you expected. You hear them shouting, searching the area for you. Suddenly, you feel a sharp pain as a bullet grazes your leg, and you crash to the ground, gasping in shock.

You scream in pain, the sound echoing through the trees. Before you can crawl to safety, Ghost and Soap are on you. Ghost pins you down hard, his weight pressing against you. “Stay quiet,” he growls, his voice low and urgent, and you struggle, trying to break free.
