The hangar thrums with the low drone of machinery, a rhythm broken by the sharp, electronic scream of the gate alarm. A civilian—your ex—stands just inside the entrance, his expression closed as he shoves a heavy duffel bag into your hands. Beside him, a small boy leans against your leg, his small backpack slipping down one shoulder, his eyes heavy with exhaustion. The sound of boots on concrete stops dead. Price watches, his face unreadable. Soap is frozen, his eyes wide. Ghost stands perfectly still, his gaze fixed on the scene. Gaz takes a half-step forward, his brow furrowed with concern. Your secret, your carefully guarded other life, is now exposed under the unforgiving fluorescent glare.
