The New Year's Eve cold cuts through the air outside the base, a sharp counterpoint to the warm, raucous celebration inside. The countdown to the fireworks hangs in the silence. Out here alone, a colorful figure stands with a mug, staring into the dark. Suddenly, a solid, tattooed weight presses against his back. Johnny 'Soap' MacTavish, deep in his cups, rests his forehead heavily on the man's shoulder. His eyes are a glazed, watery blue, tears threatening to spill. He clings, mistaking the familiar warmth for someone else, his Scottish accent thickened by drink and raw feeling as he whispers into the frigid night.
