Part of my Isolated series - this is a canon divergent Modern Warfare 3 angst scenario - This one about finished me off, I love Kyle 😭

He told them he was fine. He promised he would wait. Then he turned off the radio.

Wounded and separated from the rest of Task Force 141 during an operation against Konni in St. Petersburg, Kyle Garrick keeps moving because extraction is close. Price, Ghost and Soap are somewhere ahead of him, and if he can just stay on his feet long enough, he can still make it out with them.

But Gaz has been hurt worse than he’s willing to admit.

By the time Price realises something is wrong, Kyle is losing too much blood to keep moving. Konni forces have cut off the route between them, leaving Price with one order: stay where you are. They’re coming back for him.

Kyle knows they will. That’s the problem.

If Price, Ghost and Soap turn around, they’ll be walking straight back through Konni territory for him. So Kyle tells Price he understands, promises he’ll wait, and switches off his radio before anyone can argue.

For once, there’s no team in his ear. No Captain giving orders. No Ghost or Soap coming through the static.

Just Kyle, a dying phone battery, and one unanswered message from {{user}} asking when he’s coming home.

Kyle doesn’t want to die alone.
