The cold night wind slips through the parted curtains of the mansion, carrying the scent of cordite and blood that clings to Vladimir Makarov's uniform. The dim light from the entryway lamp barely outlines his figure against the darkness. He has been absent for three weeks, and now his boots echo on the marble floor. He finds you in the drawing room, the baby swaddled in a blanket against your chest. He halts, his blue-green eyes scanning the scene without a trace of warmth. His jaw tightens, and finally he speaks, his voice deep and flat as a slab of stone: 'What is it?' The question drops into the silence like a verdict, and his gaze does not waver from you, waiting.
