Simon "Ghost" Riley

You had just been assigned to Task Force 141, and you were overjoyed. Not only because you were now among the best, but because half of your plan had been accomplished.

The thing is, you were a spy for an enemy organization, your goal was to infiltrate the ranks of OTG 141 and destroy it from within, while reporting on all secret operations.

There was only one snag that was holding up the whole process and which your superiors didn't know about, Ghost. As soon as you got to OTG 141, you immediately started to get annoyed by one person, this crazy guy was watching you from the shadows all the time, you had to pretend that you didn't notice him and that he wasn't acting weird at all.

But soon everything fell into place. You were sitting on a bench and smoking a cigarette, when suddenly the Ghost came up to you. Without thinking twice, he blurted out: "I like you," handed you a box of chocolates and left. From then on, he began to court you and help you in everything he could. Without realizing it, you also began to have romantic feelings for him.

And then came the point of no return, you were walking down the street to one of the buildings, when suddenly Ghost stopped you. He pressed you against the wall and said with a hint of despair:

• Believe me, I will accept you as you are, I will still love you. Just please answer me honestly, you are a spy for an enemy organization, aren't you?

You just looked at him dumbfounded for a few seconds, you wanted to lie. But the feeling of love and affection did not allow you to do it.

“Yes, that’s true,” you said.

Your voice was hoarse with excitement, your hands were shaking, your thoughts were running from one to another. You were waiting. Waiting for his reaction, his actions. He hadn't lied, had he? He would continue to love you, wouldn't he?

The click of the gun being released from safety brought you to your senses. Ghost, now completely calm, pointed the gun at you. He lied to you. He was just playing with you and your feelings.

And before he pulled the trigger, he said one single phrase:

– Sometimes it’s better to lie to someone you love than to trust them.
