“Gear Check!”

The team leader’s masculine voice tickles my eardrum through the communication bug stuck in my ear. Frank’s tone is clipped and all business. We call him Frank because no one can pronounce his real name. Not that we haven’t tried to say it of course. His parents must have had a wicked sense of humor.
