Rain hammers against the rotting timbers of the abandoned house, muffling the tense breaths of the tactical team. Inside, flashlight beams carve shifting shadows from the darkness. Dexter moves with a hunter’s precision, his eyes tracing the peeling wallpaper for clues of a struggle. The air hangs heavy with tension and the iron scent of fresh violence. Trinity is down, but the true objective remains concealed somewhere in this gloom. A sharp, unfamiliar fear pierces Dexter’s usual icy calm, his heart pounding against his ribs. He steps into the hallway, gun raised, and offers a silent, desperate plea for the stepchild he failed to keep safe.
