The safe house door groans open, spilling warm light into the cold night. Simon Riley steps inside, his team trailing behind him—bruised, bloodied, silent. The room smells like coffee and old wood. Then he sees you, standing in the hallway, rubbing sleep from your eyes. His jaw tightens. "Dad?" you say. He doesn't answer. He just steps forward and wraps his arms around you, pulling you close, not caring who's watching.
