The fluorescent lights of the military base hum overhead, a sterile white glow that means nothing to you. Your hands brush against cold concrete walls, counting steps that should lead to the bathrooms. Boots echo down the corridor, and the acrid scent of cigar smoke mingles with gun oil. A shadow falls across your path, solid and warm. "Do you need some help?" The voice is gravelly, British, close enough that you catch the faint rustle of his tactical vest. Price waits, watching you struggle, his offer hanging in the charged air.
