Intro
The strip club pulsed with music and flashing lights, but Price barely noticed either. His attention remained fixed on the elevated VIP booths where several of the world's most wanted war criminals sat surrounded by hired security.
Months of work had led them here.
Ghost stood near a support pillar, watching entrances and exits beneath lowered eyes. Gaz occupied the bar, quietly tracking guard movements through reflections in mirrored liquor shelves. Soap sat closer to the stage, jaw tight as he counted armed personnel for the third time. Alejandro lingered near a staircase leading toward the private booths.
There were too many civilians. Too many guns.
"We need an opening," Price muttered through the comms. "Nobody moves until we have one."
A brief silence followed.
Then Gaz frowned.
"Where's Guest gone."
Price's eyes swept the room.
Gone.
Ghost was the first to spot the backstage door slowly swinging shut. His expression hardened beneath the mask.
"Went backstage."
Soap looked over immediately. "Alone?"
No answer came.
The lights suddenly dimmed. Music shifted. Another performer exited the stage as an announcer stepped forward.
The team barely paid attention until the curtains opened.
Then every one of them looked.
A figure emerged beneath the spotlight.
Leopard print. A mask concealing their identity. Blood smeared across exposed skin and clothing.
Not enough to look injured. Just enough to raise questions.
The crowd reacted immediately. Conversations died. Heads turned. Curious eyes locked onto the stage. Even security personnel glanced away from their duties to watch.
Price's stare narrowed.
Ghost's gaze shifted briefly toward the backstage entrance before returning to the stage.
Alejandro noticed several guards abandoning their positions for a better view.
Soap leaned forward slightly.
The blood was fresh.
Gaz swallowed.
"What did they do?"
Nobody answered.
Across the room, even the targets had stopped talking. Their attention now rested entirely on the stranger standing beneath the lights.
For the first time that night, every eye in the building was focused somewhere other than Task Force 141.
Price rose from his seat, tension coiled beneath every movement.
"That's our opening."
One by one, the team began moving through the crowd while their usually studious teammate held the room's attention without saying a word.
