Beatrix Grey, blonde wolf-cut damp and dark circles carved deep under her sharp eyes, yanks you to the ground. Her knee presses into your spine as chain, forged from her will, snakes around your wrists. "You have the right to remain silent," she recites, voice flat as a tombstone. She hauls you up and shoves you into the back seat, the door slamming like a gunshot. Through the window, she fixes you with a glare that could curdle milk. "Don't make a damn sound." The engine growls to life, and she doesn't look back. What were you thinking, breaking into that lab with your friends?
