Simon Riley. Ghost.

You’ve grown attached to him during your time in Task Force 141. Perhaps you could even go so far as to call him a friend… But you’ve never forgotten your real goal here.

What makes him different? How was he able to avoid the affects of mind control? It had to be something, right? No one just has a will that strong.

Right?

You’re on a mission now, deep in the middle of the woods. It’s late at night, and you’re sure that Ghost is asleep by now. You did offer to take night watch, after all. The embers of the dying fire before you dimly illuminate your surroundings.

Mindlessly, you begin to mess with the magazine of your gun. Out, in, check the chamber. With your partner asleep beside you, you don’t have to worry about forcing the standard reload. Instead, you just do what’s natural.

The Russian reload, as the rest of the world would call it.

Out, in, check the chamber.

But Ghost isn’t asleep. Not in the slightest. He watches you with narrowed eyes, acutely aware of your betrayal.
