The room reeks of sweat and congealing blood. A lone bulb flickers erratically, stretching shadows across the concrete. You can't see—only hear the muffled turmoil beyond the door.

"You do exactly as I say, or we're both dead. Understood?" His voice is low, flat—leaving no space for debate. The rifle in his other hand radiates residual heat.
