Price sits by Jamie's bed in the medbay. He struggles with the guilt of thinking this is his fault as he thinks about the medics using an AED on the medevac to base two days ago. Everyone knows what happened. They worry about their captain. Ghost has to call Laswell for Price.

Once Laswell arrives at the se, she heads to the medbay.

The woman sees Price half asleep by the bed. Jamie is unconscious with an oxygen mask over her face. The monitor beeps, assuring Price she’s alive. “I heard she made quick progress, and they removed the breathing tube,” Laswell says. “I know with her condition when she arrived, two days is a miracle, but…” Price looks at Jamie in the bed. “We both know the longer she’s unconscious…” “You can’t think that way. She’s strong. She’ll recover. She has you and the others to support her. Speaking of support, you need to let me and the others support you. Go take a shower and eat something. I’ll watch her.” Price knows it’s pointless to argue with Laswell. He gets up from the chair where he has been sitting for most of the two days and leaves the room.

Price sits at a table in the mess hall. A plate with a sandwich in front of him. Proper food instead of protein bars. He knows he should eat, but he’s too worried about Jamie. Price has to force himself to eat. He struggles, wondering if he’ll throw up afterwards.

Price returns to the room barely an hour after Laswell told him to eat. He knows she also said to shower, but he’s been away from Jamie long enough. Laswell knows it’s pointless to argue with Price. She vacates the seat so Price can sit by the bed. She watches him take Jamie’s smaller hand in his. Laswell leaves the room to talk to the others. She knows this is affecting everyone.

The others tell Laswell that they are worried about Jamie and Price. They know he blames himself. “He said it was a simple mission,” Ghost tells her. “No one thinks we’d end up on a wooden bridge with a plank breaking,” Gaz adds. “Still, I hate how he’s shutting us out,” Nikolai adds. “We shouldn’t be surprised,” Kate says. “This is Price we’re talking about. All we can do is offer our support and ensure he takes care of himself.”

Price remains seated by the bed. A few hours have passed. He continues to hold Jamie’s hand. He thinks he feels Jamie’s finger twitch. He looks at her face. After hours of waiting, he can’t believe he’s finally seeing signs that she’s waking up.

Jamie’s vision is blurry. All she sees is white, even once her vision clears. She hears beeping but doesn’t know what it is. She hears another sound, too, unable to make it out until the noise suddenly becomes clear. She's hearing the beeping of the monitor. “Jamie? Can you hear me?” Price’s voice. The man’s face comes into view, his concern obvious. Price sees Jamie’s confusion as she looks around. He knows she’s only seeing white walls and a white ceiling, and that she doesn’t know where she is. Her small bid indicating she can hear him is a small relief. “You’re in the medbay. You’re safe.” Price knows he should wait to explain to Jamie why she’s in the medbay. He needs to inform a nurse that Jamie is awake, who will probably inform a medic. He hates the idea of medical personnel crowding her, even if it’s just to check on her condition.

Within minutes of informing a nurse, the woman is in the room accompanied by a medic. Jamie is agitated as they do their examination. She’s too weak to shove them away. Price hates that he has to stand to the side. It's difficult as Jamie cries. He wants to shove the medic and the nurse away.

Fights are rare in the Task Force 141 base. Few would risk a fight, considering Price’s retribution and the negative impact on a soldier’s record. Months have passed since the last fight,  but Price knows that means one won’t happen.

The captain sits at his desk, working on paperwork, when Soap rushes in. “There’s a fight happening in the training room!” Soap informs him. Price sighs as he stands from his chair. The two run out of the office.

Upon entering the training room, they see a soldier on top of Jamie, punching her nose. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” Price asks. The soldier freezes, knowing they’re in a lot of trouble. Soap tackles him off Jamie before he can move. Soap forces the soldier up and keeps a tight hold on him. Soap and Price see Jamie has a nosebleed before Price kneels beside her. He lifts her chin to get a better look. “A double nosebleed,” Price tells Soap. He helps Jamie up. As he leads her to a bench, Jamie coughs up blood. This concerns Soap and Price. They know this can happen with a double nosebleed, but they also worry about serious internal bleeding. Price lifts Jamie’s shirt to check her abdomen. He sees a couple of bruises, but Jamie doesn’t complain of pain as he presses on them. Price sighs, relieved the issue is blood going down Jamie’s throat rather than a serious injury. He continues to lead Jamie to the bench.

Waking up sick in June, which is uncommon, irritates Jamie. Her throat is sore, and she expects it to worsen throughout the day. Jamie still gets ready for the day despite this.

No one says a thing at breakfast. No one knows yet. The warmth of the coffee feels good as the liquid goes down Jamie’s throat. Once done, she goes to the gym as planned.

After a good forty-minute workout, Jamie walks down the hall.  She feels worse than when she wakes up, but heads to the hangar. Nikolai, who notices how unwell Jamie looks stops her. “You’re going back to bed,” Nikolai says. “I’ll drag you if I have to.” “You wouldn’t dare.” Within seconds, Nikolai drags Jamie down the hall.

As the two walk down the hall, Price notes how Nikolai is holding Jamie’s wrist. He knows Nikolai wouldn’t do that without a reason, He follows them.

When the trio reaches Jamie’s room, Price thinks he knows why Nik is dragging Jamie with him. The three enter the room.

“What’s this about?” Price asks. “She’s sick,” Nik replies. Price looks at Jamie, noting her pale face. He feels her forehead—it's a little warm, meaning she has a cold. He sighs, realizing the issue is, as usual, that Jamie gets sick and ignores it. That explains Nik’s choice to be rough with her. Nik continues to be rough and pushes Jamie onto the bed. He moves her legs onto the bed, making her lie down. He then grabs the blankets Jamie keeps on the bed for when the air conditioner makes it too cold in her room. “You’re staying here.” Price watches Nik cover Jamie with the blankets. “I won’t leave you because we know you won’t stay put.” Price knows this seems excessive for someone sick with a cold, but Nik is right. Price suspects Jamie had just finished training when Nik saw and and how unwell she looks. Price leaves the room, leaving Nik to deal with her stubbornness. Nik goes into the bathroom, knowing Jamie has a thermometer in a drawer.

A new soldier joining their ranks is nothing new to Task Force 141. What concerns them is how much the recruit seems to hate Jamie. Price deems it prudent to inform the recruit regarding Jamie's capabilities. He doubts that the recruit will claim Jamie is dishonest. Instead of a demonstration, Price waits for the moment Jamie will need to use her powers during a mission. The captain is hesitant about pairing Jamie with the recruit, yet he's confident they won't jeopardize Jamie's safety.

As they walk down a corridor, Jamie disregards the recruit’s protests that she is deceiving everyone about possessing powers and abilities. "How the fuck are you not locked up in a mental hospital?!"

The two enter a room. The recruit watches an unstable beam bounce as Jamie walks by. They smile as they knock the beam down and run. Jamie hears the rumble of the ceiling crumbling. "Shit, get out!" Jamie yells before realizing she's alone. Rubble blocks the exit. A sizeable chunk of the ceiling falls on Jamie, trapping her leg. "I'm trapped, help me!" Jamie yells in her radio, on the frequency she shares with the recruit.

The recruit smiles and ignores Jamie's pleas for help. I knew she was lying. 

Gaz, Ghost, Price, and Soap hear the rumbling from where they are. They rush in the sound's direction, worried about Jamie and the recruit.

Jamie and Price struggle against five enemy soldiers. Price's decision to go on this mission with Jamie rather than the entire team has backfired on him. The captain frets over further mishaps while the pair engage in battle with two soldiers. The two walk backward while firing at the soldiers. They back onto a wooden bridge. The soldiers continue forward. Jamie and Price focus on them, and Jamie doesn't notice the wood plank she's standing on is cracking. The soldiers notice, but continue forward. Price aims his gun, ready to fire. He hears Jamie scream as the plank breaks and Jamie falls into the raging river. "Jamie!" The soldiers retreat to let the river deal with Jamie and Price. Believing the current will pull Price in as he attempts to pull Jamie out. Price runs alone the river, watching Jamie struggle to stay afloat with the weight of her gear pulling her down. Price isn't sure how he's getting Jamie out of the rushing water until he remembers he has a rope in his pack. He hurries to retrieve the rope as Jamie continues down the river. Once Price has the rope, he hurries down the river. As he runs, he ties a loop, hoping to catch Jamie with the rope.

Price tosses the rope toward Jamie, whose head is just visible above the water, trying to snag Jamie's hand with the loop. He'll risk breaking her wrist to save her from drowning. Price catches Jamie's wrist and pulls. He's fighting the river current and Jamie's weight because of her soaked gear. Jamie goes under the water as Price struggles to pull her out. The current pulls him close to the riverbed. "You have to let me go," Jamie argues before being pulled under again. "Never!" As Price struggles to pull Jamie out of the water, he worries about how she's still underwater. Time is running out. Price pulls harder, walking backward and pulling Jamie closer to the river's edge. It's a difficult five minutes before Price pulls Jamie out of the river. Four minutes too long for his liking. "I need medevac now!" Price yells into his radio. He lays Jamie on her back and feels for a pulse. Feeling one isn't assuring as it is slow. Price knows he has a small window before Jamie is dead. He tilts Jamie's head and delivers five rescue breaths before starting CPR. Price's mind panics as he does CPR and rescue breaths. Where the hell is that helicopter? Price worries. He knows CPR alone won't help Jamie. The captain blames himself for this.

Price doesn't know how much time has passed before he hears a helicopter. The helicopter lands close to where he and Jamie are. Two medics rush out with a stretcher. There's no assessment before they tell Price to lay Jamie on it. The three rush to the helicopter.

The mission to destroy the warehouse full of guns is a success. As Gaz, Ghost, Price, and Soap walk to the extraction point, where Nikolai is waiting, enemies ambush them. Nikolai watches as ten enemy soldiers surround his comrades. Rather than staying by his helicopter, he rushes toward them to help.

Gaz, Ghost, Nikolai, Price, and Soap struggle to take down the soldiers. Price orders everyone to separate. The five men run in three directions.

Nikolai follows Price down a path. First, they must lose the four soldiers pursuing them; then, they can search for the rest of the 141. Nik and Price run, hoping to get some distance from the soldiers, but are risking getting shot. “We have no choice but to engage,” Nik says. The two men conceal themselves behind trees with their guns aimed and shoot at the soldiers. The first two soldiers fall with ease. The other two make Nik and Price retreat into the forest’s depths. With difficulty, Nik and Price take down the remaining two soldiers. “Let’s move,” Price says. They hurry down a path, disregarding the rustling leaves, in search of their comrades.

Instead of finding Gaz, Ghost, or Soap, Nikolai and Price spot six enemy soldiers. They take cover behind trees before the enemy spots them. “Could be the rest of the ten that ambushed us,” Price whispers. “Or more soldiers.” The pair diverts, taking care not to crush leaves or twigs that could alert the soldiers, but the task is arduous in the height of autumn, with falling leaves obscuring the forest paths.

Nikolai and Price walk a quarter mile without making a sound. The only creatures making sounds are the birds in the trees. They listen for the sound of anyone approaching, searching for Gaz, Ghost, and Soap. Both know their friends are capable soldiers, but they still worry about one of them being injured. The duo sees a dilapidated house as they get closer to exiting the forest. They’re both relieved and worried. Were the rest able to navigate their way out of the forest?

“Hey!” Gaz’s voice calls out as Nik and Price exit the forest. “Good, everyone is alive,” Price says. “We have to walk through the forest to reach my helicopter,” Nikolai states. Before the team can go back into the woods, enemies fire shots at them. They take cover behind a crumbled wall. “Great, the six remaining soldiers,” Ghost grumbles. Nikolai searches for an opening. Once he thinks he can take down some soldiers, he stands “Stay down!” Price orders pulling Nikolai down. “Plan B then,” Nikolai says, pulling a smoke grenade from his tactical vest pocket. “Why do you have a smoke grenade?” Price asks. “It’s a good thing I do. Be ready to run.” Nikolai throws the grenade at the soldiers. They cough the second the grenade goes off. Task Force 141 runs into the forest. Their window to escape the soldiers is very limited. By the time the smoke clears, Task Force 141 is far from the soldiers.
