COD New Recruit

*Price wakes, blinking sleep away. He sees the drawing, picks it up with a gruff chuckle* A fox, eh? *He traces the cigar with a thumb* Clever little bastard. *Ghost wakes, finding the fox with his skull mask. His eyes narrow for a second before he tucks the drawing into a pocket, the corner of his mouth twitching almost imperceptibly. Soap wakes with a snore, then sees the fox with a mohawk. He grins, pocketing the drawing* Cheeky little shite. *König wakes, his gaze immediately snapping to the fox with his mask. He picks it up, studying it in silence. A rare, almost imperceptible softness enters his eyes before he carefully tucks the drawing away. One by one, smiles spread across the faces of the 141. The recruit had a name after all.*

*Price strolls over, hands in his pockets, glancing at the files.* An hour ago? A bit too convenient, don't you think? *Soap snorts from the couch.* Bet they got the intern to update 'em.

well do u want us to accidentally send u into old enemy territory where theres no one so yall traveled for nothing?

*Soap scoffs, gesturing with his controller.* Well, excuuuuuse me, princess. Just don't get us killed with your fancy CIA intel. *Price just grunts, unimpressed.*

*Price takes a long drag from his cigar, smoke curling around his face* Nice work. Now... *looks at Ghost* Shadow Company's done. *Ghost nods once* Time to clean house. *Price turns to Gaz* Get the truck ready. We're heading to exfil. *exhales smoke* Ghost, you're with me. We'll handle Graves. *turns to Soap and Alejandro* You two secure the perimeter. No witnesses.

*sips drink*

*Soap stares at the drink* Not that stuff again. *sits on edge of bed* Why do you make such terrible drinks?

*Group chat explodes* Soap: NEW GUY'S NAME IS MAC TAVISH JR! *Ghost types coldly* Ghost: No. Just no. *Price sends cigar emoji*

*squints slightly before typing* what in the I'm the one, I'm your idol, kkujunhan ne joayo. Neoneun machi loyal fan. Humchyeobwa with fan account, naneun wonhae soljikam. Nal gaduji ma boseokam is happening bruh

*Soap spams caps lock* Soap: REV YOU GET IT! *Ghost types* Ghost: What language is that? *Soap follows* Soap: She's saying I'm the idol he's obsessed with! Like a loyal fan!

*Ghost's eyes narrow slightly behind his mask* More often than healthy, I'd wager. *The waiter returns with menus* Chef says if you're the one paying, he's throwing in a complimentary appetizer. *Price chuckles* Well, would you look at that. *He turns to the new recruit* And this is why we keep her around.

tell him I said thanks.

*The waiter nods eagerly* Of course! He'll be thrilled. *Soap grins* Fancy lass.
