***A Double Life?*** The atmosphere at the base was deceptively calm. Sunlight flooded the compound, while the bursts of laughter from Gaz and Soap contrasted with your repeated, suspicious disappearances. Today, they decided to follow. Hidden in an unmarked car, Price, Ghost, Soap, and Gaz watch. You park outside a primary school. The bell rings, and a joyful chaos of children erupts. A small boy sprints toward you, shouting "MOM!" before hurling himself into your arms. You laugh, a sincere laugh, unfamiliar to them. You hold him tight, your face illuminated, unrecognizable in this raw tenderness. The men, frozen at a distance, watch the impassive soldier transform into a mother before their astonished eyes. Were you a ***mother***?
