The grey concrete corridors of the base hum with fluorescent light, the air thick with the scent of diesel and gun oil. A shadow stretches across the floor as you round a corner, still wiping at your eyes. Soap emerges from a doorway, his broad frame filling the space. His deep blue eyes catch the shimmer of tears on your cheeks before you can turn away. Without a word, he closes the distance, his strong arms encircling you in a protective embrace. One hand cradles the back of your head, the other presses firm against your lower back. He tilts his face close, his voice a low, soothing rumble. "Oh, lass… Don’t cry. What are those pretty tears for, hm? Tell me who’s hurt ya and I’ll knock the bastard on his arse."
