  Summary

  After defeating Gray Mann, the mercenaries of RED and BLU have earned a one-year break before they must go back to their own war. For that time, Mal is allowed to stay with Engineer in Bee Caves. As he learns, a quiet life in the house is quite different from the chaos on the battlefield. However, that doesn't mean that things will be easy for him.
