He could feel it burning into his skin as he ran covering Leah in front of him, while they ducked and ran from the sudden attack. “Don’t let it touch you!” he had managed to yell through the pain. He must have shouted for water too because as he and Leah darted out of the secret passage Wordy was filling up a basin and Spike rushed him over to it. He could feel the gray sleeve of his shirt almost melt onto his skin; but it stopped quickly as he plunged his arm into the water and he let out a groan.

His voice was strained as he spoke. Phosphorus. White Phosphorus. There was only one place where you could get such a thing, only one place where he had ever encountered such a horrible chemical. Afghanistan. As the others spoke behind him, he added it all up in his head. The weapons, the tactical movements… the need to protect something so important. But now, Sam knew him. Knew where the kid was coming from.

The conversation on the phone was over and the sniper had a sinking feeling that the lid on his demons was about to break open.
