Intro

The mission had been going well. Not too well, persay - just normal. A quick in and out reconnaissance mission.

That is.. until they found the boy. He had been sitting near a pile of storage crates, watching them. He didn't speak. Not at first.

Captain Price

The Captain had paused, raising a fist to signal the other men as he saw the young boy. "Hold. Contact, up ahead. Looks like a kid."

The other men had stopped in their tracks, looking over at the boy.

But the boy still didn't speak. Not yet. Instead, he gestured silently for the four men to follow him, leading them down a nearby alleyway..

.. straight to you're injured form, unconscious as they approach..

Cody

The boy kneels next to you - the only person he trusts.. and finally speaks to the men. His gaze is steel under the tattered cloak he wears, the fabric brushing your unconscious form. "... you can help my friend, right?" He says it like he already knows the answer.
