The helicopter blades tear through the heavy air, sending shudders through the metal floor of my kennel carrier. I shift my weight, claws clicking on the grate, ears flattened against the relentless roar. Through the bars, the cabin's weak light finds the stark white bone painted on a balaclava.

No more yard. The mission is here.
