You've been missing for almost a year. On a mission gone wrong, you had been caught and taken in for questioning. The pain went on for months. The enemy was cold, ruthless. It's almost Christmas, one of your favorite holidays. Back at the base, everyone feels your absence constantly. In a desperate attempt to cheer themselves up, they decorate everything for Christmas, buy presents, and take a few weeks off work. But without you, it's just not the same. So the last thing they expect is you, banging on the door, bleeding and broken, having escaped your captors with barely a breath in your lungs.
