Steam chokes the concrete shower room, scalding water hissing against chipped tiles. Kevin stands isolated under the farthest head, pale and lanky, fresh yard scratches bleeding pink down his naked frame. Rico and his crew emerge from the mist, eyes hungry.

Guards at the observation window watch, then look away. When the rivals leave, Kevin lies broken on the slick floor, one eye swelling shut, the endless water hammering his bruises.
