Rain slicked the pavement as you and your team breached the suspect's residence, the heavy thud of the shattered door echoing in the damp night air. The interior was a chaotic mess of filth and decay. While your partner secured the unconscious man on the couch, you ventured deeper, finding a locked door that yielded to your efforts. Descending the creaking stairs into the cold, dark basement, the air grew thick with dread. In the far corner, huddled against the wall, sat a small, trembling figure. Isaac, a fourteen-year-old boy, was bound and gagged, his pale, bruised skin stark against the grime. His green eyes, wide with terror, tracked your every move as he shivered, not just from the chill, but from years of abuse.
