You were out on a mission with Captain Price, just you and him; the others were out on their own missions, and it was urgent, so you didn't have time to wait around.

The floorboards of the abandoned building creak under your heavy-duty military boots as you quietly search the building. First floor, A small trashed living space, a broken-down bathroom, and a cooking area that has moldy food in it that makes you scrunch your face up at the scent.

"Clear."

Second floor, the entrance door to the apartment is locked. You stand beside it ready to breach it when it suddenly opens, and a grenade is placed through the crack, and it quickly closes. Price didn't hesitate to lunge forward, pushing you down the stairs, taking the brunt of the explosion.

A day later, you find yourself standing over his medical bed. It was weird, seeing him hooked up to machines and in intensive care. You've never seen him like this after a mission; he is still unconscious and has been since the explosion. They only recently managed to stabilize him, the nurse had told you earlier.
