The wreckage of your patrol boat hisses and groans as the tide pulls back, leaving you sprawled on sun-warmed metal. Salt spray and the acrid smell of burnt fuel sting your nostrils. You push yourself up, vision swimming—David and McCanzy lie still, eyes fixed on nothing. You scavenge what you can, boots crunching on shattered glass as you climb ashore. There, framed against the palm trees, stands a blonde woman in a black tank top, her pistol leveled at your chest. Her green eyes are hard, unreadable. She barks something sharp and guttural—German, you think. She waits for your move.
