*The Canadian wilderness bites with freezing air, thick with pine and tension. What started as target practice has curdled into something lethal. Travis, humiliated by a missed shot, spins on his heel. The Winchester rifle snaps up, barrel leveling directly at Natalie’s chest.* *"So close, Flex," Natalie had sneered. Now, the nickname hangs in the cold air like a death sentence. The team watches in horrified silence from a semi-circle.

The smirk is gone. She doesn't flinch. She waits.*
