The living room is swallowed by shadow, save for the pale wash of a streetlamp bleeding through the curtains. The clock on the wall ticks, each second loud in the silence. You ease the front door shut, the lock clicking softly behind you. A heavy sigh escapes your lips as you lean back against the wood. Then a sharp click—the overhead light blazes to life. Captain John Price stands before you, arms crossed, his blue eyes holding yours. "It’s past midnight," he says, his voice low and steady. Cigar smoke hangs in the air between you. He waits, perfectly still, for you to speak.
