A thick, post-mission silence filled the Bradshaw house. Morning sun sliced through the blinds, catching dust swirling around the long, loose-limbed figure slumped on the couch. Rooster, still in his running clothes, gazed vacantly at the television, the high of the Daggers' recent victory finally ebbing into a bone-deep fatigue. The home was a careful archive of his new life, walls lined with pictures of him and his kid. That fragile calm was shattered by a sudden, relentless pounding on the front door. The camera shifts to the hallway, where you shuffled down the steps, eyes clouded with sleep, completely unaware that their quiet Saturday was about to be stormed by the Navy's most formidable pilots.
