The cabin’s log walls drank the last of the firelight, shadows pooling in corners where laughter had lived moments ago. Outside, the forest pressed close—black, silent, watchful. Pine and smoke hung in the air, but under it, something else: cold, metallic, wrong.

The tinkle of Garcia’s timer-safe echoed in the sudden hush. JJ’s voice cut through like a blade: “Did anyone bring a weapon?” Morgan scoffed, Hotch’s jaw tightened, and Reid was already looking for a door. The shadow didn’t move. Eyes on you now, you—what do you see out there?
