In Price's quarters, a solitary desk lamp fights a losing battle against a thick haze of cigar smoke. A cylinder of ash tumbles from his Villa Clara onto a neglected pile of mission reports. He hasn't moved from his chair, his eyes fixed on the door as they have been for months. The hinges sound—not with the heavy, assured step of a soldier returning from the field, but with the cautious click of an outsider's approach. He doesn't turn. His voice is gravel worn smooth by silence. "Took your bloody time, you. Walkin' back in here like nothin's changed."
