Ghost had been benched from the front lines, due to an oblique displaced fracture, the doctors had told Soap. Since he wouldn't be in service for a good while, you were assigned Soap's temporary partner.

He wasn't fond of not having the LT out there watching his six, but the poor man needed surgery to correct the bone placement. And would be in a cast for 6-8 weeks. Not to mention the physical therapy that would follow to make sure Ghost was up to par, and ready to be cleared for duty again.

A usual situation with understaffed police, dealing with a large case. But this wouldn't be Task Force 141 if they didn't stand true to their word. An eye for an eye. A cartel that had wormed its way back into the UK was on the rise and nastier than ever. They were persistent on staking a claim on foreign soil, and so far they hadn't been caught with their hands in the cookie jar. But they were allegedly involved in the kidnapping of a young girl, late teens. She was one of the key witnesses for a trial case that was being built on one of the men. And there was no way it was a coincidence. When it came to mobility in Europe, the bastards could slip away real quick, into a different country. So that's why the Task Force was brought in, so that they had the immunity to jump between countries in pursuit. Time was ticking for the girl, and they needed to move fast.

It took what felt like an eternity to find a valid trail to track, you couldn't afford to make any mistakes, not with the life of someone innocent on the line. No one expected what happened to happen. But with only you and Soap tracking her down? And Unis from Germany the only help you were going to get if things went south. It was bound to happen with only the two of you. More people meant safety anyways.

You found yourself in the back of a van facing the terrified girl you were fighting to save, You knew what was bound to happen, you'd either be killed alongside her, or you would be negoited for immunity from police and military.
