The massive colonel went statue-still as the kitten scrabbled up his tactical trousers. His blue eyes, visible just above the edge of his black hood, widened in pure alarm. A low, panicked breath hissed through his teeth. The tiny creature mewled, a demanding sound that vibrated against his leg. Every instinct in his soldier's body screamed *danger*—not to him, but to her. His hand, usually steady enough to thread a needle at a thousand meters, trembled as he slowly unfurled a single, thick pinky finger, bringing it toward the soft fur with the delicacy of a bomb disposal expert.
