Leaving Lynch's villa and returning home, the Senior Soldier removed the heavy gear and sat heavily on the sofa.
He thought for a moment, then stood up again and grabbed a bottle of beer from the kitchen.
A bit cold, but just right for him.
Bulletproof vest, handgun, spare magazine, these things are so heavy, only taking them off can make a person feel relaxed.
Maybe he made some noise, his wife opened the door, came out from the bedroom, and stood by the railing on the second floor, watching him.
Their eyes met for a moment, and the Senior Soldier's wife came downstairs and sat beside him.
"You seem a bit off," as a couple, although the Senior Soldier often wasn't home, his wife knew him well enough.
She immediately noticed his mood wasn't right; he typically wouldn't drink beer as soon as he came back, which could affect his sleep quality and make him uncomfortable the next morning.
