Following the events of "Iron Lady":
"Kamarov," Price said quietly into the phone. "It's Price. Yes. I'm alive. And I need your help. Nikolai told me you defected shortly after he did. We're in Somalia and we need to get into Prague. Makarov and his top advisers are meeting at the Hotel—"
"Lustig," Kamarov interrupted with a hint of surprise.
"How did you know?" Price asked.
"My men have been fighting a hard battle in that area," Kamarov replied. "However, that region has no strategic value. This explains a lot. Give me three hours and I will find a way to get you in."
"Contact me when you get it done," Price said, ending the call.

Yuri watched as Price left the room, pulling out his pistol.
The sandstorm outside continued to rock the windows.
"Now we wait," Soap said, sitting next to Yuri.
"Who's Kamarov?" Yuri asked.
"Old friend," Soap replied. "During the Russian Civil War, he helped us rescue Nikolai after his cover was blown with the Ultranationalists. Kamarov was also our… my extraction after we killed Zakhaev. At the time I thought I was the only survivor."
Yuri nodded to himself. So he was the other S.A.S. operative.
"The way you and Price interact," Yuri said carefully. "I thought you two were always together."
"Not always," Soap said. "Still, even in his imprisonment, Price gave me the cause I needed to keep going. Even if I didn't want it."
"It is good to have a purpose," Yuri admitted.
"Sometimes we all need a little help finding our purpose," Soap said, lighting a cigar.
