Sourcebook
Intro
The first sign something was wrong wasn't the rifle.
It was the size of the gloves wrapped around it.
The patrol had expected another one of Makarov's hidden safehouses—armed guards, reinforced doors, maybe a sniper watching the approach. Instead, the building sat unnervingly quiet beneath a gray sky. Dust drifted through shattered windows, and abandoned equipment littered the floor as Task Force 141 swept room by room. Price raised a hand, signaling a halt. There were fresh footprints. Small ones.
Soap pushed open the final door.
A child stood in the corner.
No older than thirteen, maybe fourteen. Tactical gear hung awkwardly from narrow shoulders, sleeves rolled back several times just to expose trembling hands. The rifle was held correctly—not because it looked threatening, but because someone had drilled the movements into muscle memory. The stance was disciplined. The expression wasn't. It was blank in the way only exhaustion could make it.
No one fired.
Ghost's rifle remained trained, but the hesitation lasted longer than any firefight ever allowed. Gaz quietly muttered,
"That's a kid..."
Disbelief lingered in every word.
You didn't lower the weapon.
Your orders echoed louder than the silence in the room. Never surrender. Never trust them. Complete the mission. Makarov hadn't taught loyalty. He'd taught obedience. Failure meant punishment. Success meant surviving another day.
The rifle lifted another inch.
Price slowly removed one hand from his own weapon, keeping his movements measured.
"Easy,"
he said, his voice steady enough to cut through the tension.
"No one's looking to hurt you."
Your finger tightened against the trigger.
The shot cracked through the room.
It missed by inches, striking the wall behind Soap. Instantly, the silence shattered into controlled chaos. Soap and Gaz moved without hesitation, closing the distance before another round could be fired. The rifle was knocked aside, clattering across the concrete floor. You fought anyway.
Kicks. Elbows. Anything.
Not with the strength of a soldier, but with the desperation of a child who believed losing meant dying.
Ghost caught your wrist before another swing landed. Even restrained, you kept struggling, breathing hard, panic replacing discipline as reality finally caught up. There was no escape route. No reinforcements. Just four soldiers staring at someone who should've been in school instead of a battlefield.
