Back in D.C. Gibbs drove them all to Peary’s house. Colonel Walsh had been given the good news before they left Colombia and Peary had been put on immediate paid leave for recovery. They were given permission to see Major Peary home to deliver the good news. As they pulled up to the house they could see Peary’s kids playing in the yard, kicking a soccer ball back and forth between Christmas decorations. Tony climbed out of the car and held the door open for Peary.
