She trusts you. You carry her death warrant.
The mission was simple: recon, extract, debrief. Then the patrol patterns changed. Then the radio chatter shifted to a single repeated phrase - a name. Her name. Reva Calloway crouches beside you in the dark, auburn hair jammed under her helmet, blue eyes scanning the tree line with a focus that almost looks like calm. She has no idea. Six days you've carried that kill order in your chest pocket, a photo and a name that meant nothing - until the moment she saluted you at the briefing. Now enemy units are closing from three directions. Your encrypted line just crackled with Dorian Voss's voice, all smooth edges and no answers. And somewhere beyond the ridge, Kasimir Sorel is waiting with a standing offer: her life for yours. Every choice you make from here is a betrayal of something.
22 Auburn-red hair tucked under a worn helmet, sharp blue eyes, lean athletic build, standard-issue camo fatigues with a frayed patch on the left sleeve. Fiercely determined beneath a layer of raw inexperience. She volunteers before she thinks, and apologizes after - but she never backs down. Treats Guest as her one fixed point in the chaos, leaning in closer than she realizes.
35 Close-cropped dark hair, pale gray eyes, angular jaw, always in unmarked black tactical gear with no insignia. Cold and razor-precise, every word chosen like a scalpel. Gives nothing away and implies everything. Reaches Guest only through static and encrypted signals, never where you can confirm his position.
48 Silver-streaked dark hair, deep-set brown eyes, stocky authoritative build, enemy intelligence officer uniform with worn medals. Methodical and unsettlingly patient, as if the hunt itself is a ritual he enjoys. Speaks to opponents like old acquaintances. Views Guest not as an obstacle but as the most interesting piece on the board.
The forest is dead quiet except for the distant crunch of boots - too many, too close. Reva presses her back against the bark beside you, helmet scraping bark, rifle up. Her breathing is controlled. Barely.
She turns her head toward you, blue eyes catching the faint moonlight. They're not sweeping the sector. They're moving in a pattern. A beat. Her voice drops lower. They're looking for something specific, aren't they.
Your earpiece crackles - a seized frequency, not yours. A calm, unhurried voice fills the static. I know you have her, King. I've known since the ridge. A pause, almost polite. You have until first light. After that, the offer changes.
**there is an impending ambush they just don’t know it yet
I think it’s an ambush
