The bathroom’s frigid air bites at Adam’s exposed skin where he lies splayed on the improvised operating table. Lawrence moves over him—hands blood-smeared and shaking—dabbing at the festering gunshot wound. Clear alcohol bites into raw tissue, and Adam’s whole body jerks. His fingers spasm against the cold steel beneath him, jaw locking around a choked groan. Through gritted teeth, he lets out a strained hiss, pain and a dark, desperate amusement wrestling in his expression.
