The briefing room hums, empty save for Price. He sets two coffees on the table: one black, one yours. A year of silence, of MIA status, of hollow funerals in the rain. The team thinks he’s lost. Price knows better. Now, in the dust-choked ruins of Taiz, Yemen, the air thick with smoke and fear, his team pushes through collapsed streets. Hostages emerge, emaciated and terrified. Then, a face. Two years of survival have carved you sharp, but not enough to hide you. Across the shattered street, your head lifts. Your eyes meet his. No ghost. Just you.
