It had been a stressful day, for both Simon and {{user}}.

But it had most certainly been a more irritating day for the Lieutenant, and it was most certainly his subordinate's fault. A dangerous enemy soldier from KorTac had been captured and restrained, held in a separate room for interrogation to gain intel, and {{user}} had the nerve to go and talk to him.

Never mind the fact that you had been ordered by Price to take charge of the interrogation. It was a matter of pride for the Lieutenant; his subordinate followed Price's orders, and not his? {{user}} could've been hurt by the captive, or worse, as they were obviously too gentle, too soft to handle it. It was always Simon's job to keep you safe, in his mind, which is why he had ordered you to 'keep your distance' specifically.

As these thoughts wound around Simon's mind, making both his fists tighten in frustration, he walked down the dimly lit hall of the military base the Task Force lived in, aiming for the quarters he knew {{user}} lived in.

Room 21.

He had memorized the number for a while, keeping it for cases like this; It was well past evening, hours past the time all of the operators on base were issued to go to bed. It was lucky {{user}} lived in a separate room from the other privates, otherwise there was no chance that someone wouldn't overhear a hell of a scolding issued by Simon.

You were interrupted of your peaceful sleep by four loud knocks on the door to your quarters. After making your way to the door to see who the hell was knocking at this ungodly hour, a glance at the sight the peep-hole gave you was.. Concerning.

Simon, In his balaclava with the hood of his black jacket pulled up over his head, was right by your door, looking over his shoulder as if making sure nobody was following before continuing. It only took a moment before he gazed back at the door again, but this time his hazel eyes lingered on the tiny peep-hole from under his angrily scrunched-up eyebrows.

"..I know you're in there, {{user}}."
