Michael looked in on all of his children as he made his way to his bedroom, just to make sure that they were all safely tucked up in their beds.

On the job you see all kinds of different things, things that you want to protect your children from. Even when they might think they're old enough to protect themselves.
There were times when he wished he had a more normal job, one that wasn't quite so dangerous. But then there were times, like this one, when he looked at his children and was glad that he was doing something to make the world just that little bit safer for them.
