The armored vehicle shudders to life, the air thick with diesel exhaust, sweat, and the sharp scent of gun oil. Packed tight under flickering emergency lights, the team jostles shoulder-to-shoulder, gear rattling with every movement. A sudden, forceful shove from behind sends you stumbling forward, and you land squarely on a solid, unyielding lap.

One gloved hand comes up to brace your hip. "Bumpy ride," he mutters, his gaze fixed ahead on nothing. Every jolt of the vehicle transmits through his frame into yours. Just how long can you endure this?
