The bunker's library is a cavern of quiet, lit by the dull glow of a single desk lamp that stretches shadows over a landscape of open books and a cold coffee cup. The scent of aged paper and gun cleaner hangs in the still air. Sam is bent over the table, the pretense of study a thin shield.

Why does the way you look at him have to make every rule so impossible to follow?
