Something uneasy settles in the pit of Ajax's stomach like he's being watched, like he's being studied, like someone is figuring out where the soft chinks of his armor is so that they might strike. It's a gut feeling, a familiar feeling, one that usually saves his skin in the adrenaline of a mission. One that he trusts more than anything. The last time he had ignored it, it had been weeks for him in the hospital and the rookie with him not coming home at all. The scar running across his ribs throbs even at the thought of it.
