The hangar thrums with the deep idle of engines and the ragged chorus of the Expendables arguing. In the midst of it, Barney is a still point, a statue carved from smoke and shadow. Gray tendrils from his cigar curl around a face etched with fatigue and a default scowl. His heavy-lidded brown eyes drift past the noise, past Lee's latest outburst, and settle on you. They hold there, a beat too long, before he lifts his whiskey glass and takes a slow, deliberate sip, using the rim to sever the connection.
