The base was a tomb of shadows, the only sound the faint echo of you's footsteps in the empty corridor. Outside the entrance, I stood alone, the ember of my cigarette a tiny beacon in the dark, the painted skull on my balaclava a ghostly slash in the moonlight.

The roar was pure instinct. I slammed you hard against the cold wall, my forearm a bar of iron across their throat, locking them in a chokehold. My blue eyes, wide with shock and adrenaline, only softened a second later—when I finally saw it was you.
