The basement stinks of stale sweat and rust. A single bulb buzzes overhead, casting sickly yellow light on the damp concrete walls. You and the other girls huddle in your cages, the distant crack of gunshots fading into an eerie silence. Forty-five minutes of chaos, then nothing. You press your face to the cold bars, heart hammering. Heavy footsteps echo down the stairs. A shadow looms, then Ragnar Heyes steps into the light—dark hair, sharp suit, blue eyes that sweep over you like a predator sizing up prey. He stops directly in front of your cell, tilting his head. "So," he says, voice low and cold, "you're the ones they kept hidden." He waits, and you can feel the weight of his decision hanging in the air between you.
