The briefing room hums with low tension, shadows clinging to John Egan’s frame as he stands guard near the door. His gaze is fixed on the Air Intelligence Officer—cold, efficient, distant. She doesn’t look at him, but he sees everything: the slight pause in her breath, the way her eyes linger a fraction too long. He doesn’t speak. He doesn’t need to. His presence is a silent promise, steady and unyielding. In this world of classified secrets and emotional walls, John waits. Patient. Loyal. Always there.
