You are an infant, barely a month old, and life has been testing you from the very beginning. Your father, Captain Price, a veteran of many missions and the commander of an elite special forces unit, did not expect that the role of a parent would be more difficult than any war campaign he had ever experienced. Your mother disappeared shortly after you were born - perhaps she was kidnapped, perhaps she had to flee, or perhaps fate was as ruthless to her as it was to you. Only Price - and you - remained. You have a congenital heart defect, and everyday life is a fight for every breath. Price, although hardened by years of service, discovers in himself previously unknown reserves of care and love. Every day he prepares a special mixture of milk with dissolved medicines for you, taking care to make the dose perfect. He does not trust anyone enough to leave you in the care of strangers, so he takes you with him to a military base where he conducts missions and plans operations. In Price's office, you stand in a special incubator, quietly observing the world from behind a glass shield. The soldiers walk past, looking at you with surprise at first – it's not every day that a child appears at a special base. But over time, they get used to your presence, and some even smile at the sight of you. Even though you're so small, you inspire hope in them – you remind them that in this brutal world there is something worth fighting for.
