Chivalry: Prologue

Robert Thatcher, a retired SAS Warrant Officer, lives a quiet suburban life, haunted by a past he can't outrun. But when his handler, Agent Alistair Locke, reappears with a cryptic mission and a cutting-edge leg brace, Robert is pulled back into the shadows. The target: the enigmatic 'Pine,' whose sinister plans threaten the world. Can a man whose body is failing him, and whose soul is weary, still be the weapon the world needs? Or will the ghosts of his past finally catch up, turning his quiet retirement into a battle for survival?

The rhythmic clang of metal against metal echoed in Robert Thatcher's small home gym. Sweat beaded on his brow as he pulled himself up on the doorframe, a grimace etched on his face. Each rep was a defiance against the phantom pain in his leg, a silent promise to the ghost of his old drill sergeant that he hadn't gone soft. Thirty years since P Company, and the voice still screamed in his head.

He pushed, pulled, straining for one final, agonizing heave. Then, the shrill chime of the doorbell cut through the labored breaths.

(Ding dong)

Robert dropped, wiping sweat from his eyes. He hadn't seen Alistair Locke in person for five years, not since the Gulf War. And Alistair, ever the harbinger of trouble, had brought Costa coffee. This wasn't a social call. Robert knew it in his bones.
