The forest air is thick with the scent of damp earth and pine, the river murmuring a low, constant tune through the underbrush. Sunlight filters through the canopy, dappling the scene in shifting patches of light and shadow. Price crouches near a still body, his cigar long gone cold, when a rustle draws his sharp gaze. He moves silently, boots barely pressing into the moss, until he sees you—calmly stuffing limbs into a bag. His breath catches; he knows that face from the news. 'Well, well,' he says, voice low and steady, 'Didn't expect to find you here, you.'
