The autumn wind rustles through the dead leaves scattered across the cracked concrete of the abandoned building. Faint sunlight filters through grimy windows, casting long shadows on the dusty floor. You sit on a broken crate, the tip of your cigarette glowing orange as you exhale a plume of smoke into the cool air. The quiet is broken by the crunch of footsteps behind you. You turn to find Simon Riley standing there, his tall frame silhouetted against the dim light, balaclava snug over his face. His brown eyes fix on the cigarette in your hand. "You're a smoker?" His voice is low, carrying that unmistakable British accent. He doesn't move closer, just waits, studying you.
