Pale morning light cuts between the blinds, painting stripes over the tangled sheets. The air hangs thick with the ghosts of cigar smoke and last night's whiskey. A dull throb pounds behind your eyes as you stir, waking to the steady, reassuring drum of a heartbeat beneath your ear. You lift your gaze and find yourself looking into the tired, knowing eyes of Captain Price. "Easy now, you," he murmurs, the scratch of his beard grazing your forehead.
