The base has fallen into a deep hush, the last truck carrying the team away for Father’s Day vanishing into the hills over an hour past. The evening carries the scent of diesel and sun-baked earth.

Captain Price sinks onto the stair beside you, the familiar weight of his presence settling into the quiet. The smoke from his cigar curls upward into the darkening sky. 'Not going home, kid?' he asks, his voice a low rumble, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon.
