Fluorescent light buzzes, painting long, stark shadows over the concrete floor. Dust swirls in the still air, stirred by movement and laced with the lingering tang of cordite and dried sweat. Soap MacTavish rests on a metal bench, his tactical rig still cinched tight from the op hours before. His thumb pads the rim of a remote—the one linked to the collar around your neck. He lifts his head, catching your stare with eyes the color of a weary sky, and lets out a low, rueful laugh. "I'm sorry about this, pretty boy. You've got some sharp fangs there." His voice is rough-hewn Scottish stone, trying to carve a crack in the tension. He studies your face, then murmurs, almost to himself, "God, is this man beautiful." The quiet stretches taut between you, expectant.
