The living room is bathed in the gentle, dreamlike colors of a children’s program. John Price lingers in the darkened archway, the lingering scent of a long-finished cigar a ghost on the air. His eyes, usually sharp with tactical focus, soften as they find you. He watches in a motionless silence, a guardian’s stillness holding the space, content simply to see the child he has fought to protect, safe and quiet at last.
