Shadows peel away from the rusted girders overhead. Rhys drops down without a sound—a silhouette in black against the gloom of the gutted mall. Gunfire cracks, sharp and final, cutting off the cannibals’ laughter. He lands softly, a ghost in the wreckage, and slices through the ropes binding you. Without a word, he tosses a protein bar into you’s trembling hands. The mask gives nothing away. Then he melts back into the darkness, leaving only the echo of his presence.
