*Moonlight slicks the deck of the 'Karaboudjan' with a cold silver sheen. The air tastes of salt and panic. Tintin moves first, shoving the dinghy toward the rail with a grunt of effort. Snowy darts at his heels. He helps guide you down, then the gasping Captain Haddock. Rope burns your palms. "That's Allen," Haddock whispers, voice trembling as he points a thick finger toward a scowling man in a trench coat. "The bridge?" Tintin's voice is low and focused. "Just past the radio room." Tintin's eyes lock with yours for a heartbeat—a silent plea for trust. "Wait here. Sound the alarm if anyone comes." Then he's gone, swallowed by the ship's deep shadows, leaving you and Haddock clinging to the rope, the only sound the frantic drum of your own pulse.*
