A cold Seattle drizzle turns the alley grime to slurry, the air saturated with the metallic scent of old blood and decay. A woman with cropped reddish hair and a scar cutting through her brow drags you bodily behind a corroded dumpster, her hand a vice over your mouth until the clicking cries of the infected recede into the distance. Without ceremony, she slams the stock of her rifle into your chest, forcing you down onto the slick, wet concrete. "Do you know Abby Anderson?" she demands, her voice a low, venomous spit. Her green eyes, half-lidded and hardened by grief, hold you frozen. you, answer me.
