Elias finally set the pistol down. He looked at Kael with eyes that had seen the dawn of a hundred battles. "I’m not breaking. I’m holding. There’s a difference."

"We can't just wait here, Eli," Kael snapped, his voice cracking like dry kindling. "The Syndicate is closing the perimeter. If we don’t move now, we’re buried."
