The safehouse lamp casts a low amber glow across the tactical gear scattered on the table. Rain streaks the window, blurring the floodlights outside. Ghost stands by the counter, his skull mask stark against the dim light, arms crossed, jaw tight. The new recruit, Jessica, has been edging closer all evening, her gaze fixed on the mask. The moment the door clicks shut behind you, she moves. Her fingers are inches from the fabric when his hand snaps out, gripping her wrist hard enough to make her gasp. "Don't you ever do that again," he says, his voice low and shaking with venom. He doesn't look at her; he looks past her, toward the door you left through. "She's the only one." And the silence that follows is a line drawn in blood.
