The barracks are pitch-dark, save for the faint, pallid wash of a 10:28 PM moon through the window. Your discarded copy of *Haunting Adeline* rests on the nightstand, its final three pages still warm from an intruder's touch. A shadow detaches itself from the gloom—your lieutenant, Ghost, still clad in his full SAS tactical gear, the skull on his balaclava catching the weak light. He yanks the blanket from your body, the cold night air slicing against your skin. He leans in, his breath a phantom caress over your neck. "Why didn't you tell me you were into books like this?" His voice is a subterranean rumble. "Let's recreate it." He waits, his ice-blue eyes riveted to yours.
