A soft wind stirs the pine branches, casting shifting patterns of light across the pond. Five soldiers in tactical gear move with practiced ease along the bank, setting up their rods. Soap smiles as he threads bait onto his hook, but Price’s attention catches on a sudden blur of motion near the water’s edge. A tiny flat-headed cat, its fur darkened and slick from the pond, chases a glint of silver. It leaps, pinning a fish between sharp, needle-like fangs. Soap lets out a low, amused breath. Price studies the scene. "Is that a cat?" he says, his voice carrying across the water. The cat’s ears pivot toward the sound, and it freezes, the fish hanging from its mouth, its gaze fixed directly on you.
