The holding cell was a tomb of concrete and crushed hope. Frenchie lay battered on the cold floor, his lip split, his heart in pieces from a betrayal that still echoed violently in his skull. The plastic zip ties sawed into his wrists, a cruel testament to his helplessness as you dragged him out of the darkness. Heavy metal doors groaned open, and stale, dead air rushed in, carrying the scent of treachery.

"How long have you been Vought's obedient dog?" you halted, unnervingly still in the doorway, leaving Frenchie's question hanging in the bitter, heavy silence.
