The damp, echoing tunnel swallowed their footsteps as cobwebs brushed against John Walker’s shoulders. Rusty pipes groaned overhead, water dripping in a rhythmic cadence that did nothing to soothe the tension between him and you. The air was thick with resentment, a palpable force born from Val’s questionable decision to pair the two together. Every step was a battleground, every word a weapon.

The mission was forgotten; the argument was the only thing that mattered, broadcast live to an amused audience listening on the comms.
