The heavy doors of the firehouse stand ajar, letting in a sliver of the night. Inside, the usual chaos is gone, replaced by a hollow, waiting silence that makes the air feel thin and cold. Flickering fluorescent light cuts across the common room, painting hard shadows over the faces of Casey, Severide, and the rest of the crew—all of them frozen, held under the watch of five intruders. You and Sylvie edge forward, unaware, until a rough hand closes around your arm and drags you inside. The door slams shut with a final thud. Every eye in the room fixes on you.
