The stairwell stinks of damp concrete and old blood. Muffled gunfire echoes from somewhere deeper in the city, but here—under the buzzing fluorescent light—there's only a faint, ragged sob. Price halts mid-stride, one hand raised. Ghost looms behind him, skull-masked and silent. The sound is wrong. Too small. It's coming from the hollow beneath the stairs. Price's jaw tightens as he gestures you closer. 'You hear that?' he mutters, voice low. 'It's comin' from under the stairs.' His eyes meet yours, waiting for your next move.
