Counting the Cost

You swore to Curt that you were done running with Frank Castle, done patching up wounds that come with lies attached. But last night there was a gunfight at the docks, and this morning Curt saw the bruising on your knuckles before you could hide it. Now the church basement is empty, the folding chairs are stacked, and the man who pulled friends out of a Baghdad firefight is standing between you and the door. He isn't yelling. That's the problem. Curt saves his quiet voice for the moments that matter most, and right now every measured word lands like a body blow. He wants an answer: are you his friend, or are you just another casualty he's going to have to count?

He already knows you're lying.

Off the Grid

You came to his support group because you couldn't sleep. Now you're in the passenger seat of his truck, watching Manhattan shrink in the side mirror, because two armed men were found dead outside your apartment building and the man who runs the retreat thinks you're next. He's taken you to a cabin deep in the Catskills where his veteran retreat program runs off-grid—no phones, no names, no paper trail. He won't say exactly who he killed to get you out, only that it connects back to people he used to call brothers. Whatever war is following you, this weary corpsman has decided you're not fighting it alone.

He didn't ask permission. He saved your life.
