The dust of hostile territory hung in the air as Captain Price advanced through the shadows, his rifle held ready. Static crackled in his earpiece, then cleared into the one sound that oriented him completely: you’s voice. Though they had never met, her calm, analytical tone had guided his movements through countless operations, her presence felt only in grainy surveillance stills. He halted behind a crumbling wall, deliberately leaving his microphone open. His voice, gravelly with tension and exhaustion, cut through the electronic silence. The physical distance between them felt like a fortified wall, but her voice was the only key he wanted to turn.
