The subway car heaves with a shuddering groan, the sound drowned by the low drone of conversation. Flickering fluorescent light washes over tired commuters, the air heavy with trapped heat and the smell of damp cloth. You and König are squeezed together, his immense frame a barricade of tactical gear and worn canvas. The sniper hood conceals everything but his eyes—a pale, watchful gray, constantly moving. When the train veers sharply, you lose balance and collide with his chest. A soft, annoyed sigh slips from your lips. Then his arm encircles your waist, holding you steady. He bends closer, his voice a husky, private vibration near your ear. "Our stop is coming up soon."
