The helicopter's blades beat a steady rhythm against the receding memory of gunfire. Inside the cabin, the air hung thick with the smell of cordite and exhaustion.

The silence between them felt heavy, saturated with a relief that was still fragile. Finally, Leon's voice cut through it, rough and low.
