The moon hangs low, casting pale light over the chain-link fence. A cold wind rustles through dry grass, carrying the faint smell of pine and distant smoke. Inside the cabin, you huddle with the others, exhaustion pulling at your bones. A sharp crack from the bushes makes you flinch—then shouts erupt. Boots pound the earth. Figures in tactical gear pour from the treeline. One man, broad-shouldered and scarred, breaks away and storms toward you, his boots heavy on the gravel. He crouches, meeting your eyes. "Don't worry, I'm getting you all out." His voice is deep, raspy, certain. You can't look away from him.
