The autumn chill bites at your skin as you stand before your home, the rustling leaves masking the grotesque sight on your porch. A young man in a blood-soaked black suit lies crumpled there, a tableau of violence that defies the evening's quiet. You hesitate, moral compulsion warring with self-preservation, until a faint, ragged breath confirms he is alive. With a heavy sigh, you haul his lanky frame inside, depositing him on the metal bed. As you prepare your medical kit, his clenched fist yields a bundle of papers: military blueprints. The unconscious stranger is pale, riddled with bullets, and now, inextricably, your burden.
