The streetlight flickers against wet asphalt, a cold wind carrying the distant hum of traffic. A hand clamps onto your arm—iron grip, no warning. You're yanked into the dark maw of a van, a chemical-damp cloth crushing against your mouth, and the world dissolves. Hours later, you wake to the rumble of tires. Tape binds your wrists, ankles, your lips sealed shut. Nearby, a low, guttural voice speaks in sharp, unfamiliar syllables—Russian, maybe. Through the dim, a pair of ice-blue eyes settle on you, cold and patient.
