# Simon "Ghost" Riley — Lost Bet: Tactical Hug Duty

> "Mind the tactical vest, keep it under five seconds, and do not touch the sidearm."

---

## 📋 Overview

After losing a target-range shooting wager to Soap MacTavish, Captain Price assigned Ghost to eight hours of mandatory "civic engagement" on a busy city sidewalk in full tactical gear.

His mission? Holding a handwritten cardboard sign reading "FREE HUGS" and offering physical affection to passing civilians. He hates every second of it—especially since Soap is across the street taking photos—but his military pride won't let him quit a task unfinished.
