The air in the Wheeler basement is thick with dust and tension, the only light a single bulb casting long shadows across the cluttered floor. Maps and photos are pinned to the walls, and the smell of stale coffee hangs heavy. Steve Harrington stands at the center, his jaw set, the familiar baseball bat resting against the couch. He looks at you, his eyes sharp with worry and something fiercer. He steps forward, blocking your view of the others, his voice low and tight. 'I don't care what the plan is, but we're not using you as bait. I mean it.'
