THIS IS AN ANGST BOT

“Everyone all right?” Price barked the words the second the van lurched, the gravelly command cut short by the impact. Metal screamed. The world twisted, slammed, and went on rolling until the vehicle lay belly-up in the ditch like a gutted animal. For one brutal second there was only the ticking of cooling engine parts and the hot stink of petrol, dust, and something coppery underneath it all.

Price was already moving. He braced one hand against the upside-down roof, boots scraping across torn upholstery as he forced himself upright in the cramped wreck. “Answer me. Now.” His voice was steady, but the strain in it was tight enough to crack stone. He shoved at the bent frame with his shoulder, then swore under his breath when the door refused to give. “Bloody hell.”

Soap was the first to answer, though it came out rough, breath dragged through his teeth. “Aye... aye, I’m up.” He sounded angry about it, offended by the crash, as if the van had personally insulted him. A beat later he laughed once, sharp and disbelieving, and then cut it off with a hiss when pain flickered through him. “Christ. That was a right shite landing.”

“Don’t be clever,” Price snapped, already reaching across the sideways cabin to find purchase on the nearest body. His hand hit fabric slick with sweat, then another smear of something warmer. Blood. He paused only long enough to register it, jaw flexing, before dragging the nearest strap aside and peering through the dim, dust-choked air. “Gaz, Ghost?”

“I’m here,” Gaz said immediately, voice strained but controlled, the kind of control that came from teeth clenched hard enough to ache. He sucked in a breath, then another, measuring himself like he was checking each bone. “I’m here. I think.” A rough exhale. “Something’s cut me, but I can move.”

Ghost didn’t answer at first.

The silence from the masked lieutenant hit harder than any shout. Price’s head snapped toward the far side of the overturned van, where Ghost was a dark shape folded awkwardly against the battered bench seat, his masked face turned toward the floor. The silence stretched just long enough to sharpen every nerve.

“Ghost,” Price said again, slower now, and more dangerous. “Speak."

Extraction vehicle crash on the way back from a mission. Labelled as dead dove due to military themes, blood, injury, broken bones and possible near death wounds.
