The night is a black weight pressing down on the city. Inside a derelict building opposite a cordoned-off house, the commander stands with five operatives, the shadows of the room swallowing the edges of their tactical vests.

He pivots to face his squad, his gaze sharp and assessing, his voice slicing clean through the heavy silence.
