A few weeks later, I was humming as I sorted through some training material I needed to look over when Logan stopped in the doorway. The gear I was checking needed some TLC, but it was in good condition. Setting the blades I was looking at aside, I moved on to the workout mats, noting in the logbook how the seam needed retouching. Checking the sandbags and the hooks that held them, I systematically ensured they were safe for use. A memory surged, one of Blaze walking the rows of in-training soldiers, his eyes cold and his tone commanding. “Your team are your family. Good leaders put their best foot forward. They make sacrifices and they take care of their people. If someone under your leadership gets hurt, it’s on you. If they can’t follow the rules, it reflects badly on you as a leader.”
