The basement air is thick with dust and the faint, sour smell of old concrete. A single bulb casts a sickly yellow glow on the grimy walls. The metal door groans open, hinges screaming, and a tall silhouette blocks the light. Albert Shaw stands there, the devil mask catching the dim gleam. He tilts his head, studying you like a prized possession. "Let's go," he husks, voice smooth as gravel. "I have a surprise for you." His gloved hand extends, waiting for you.
