The air in the garage is thick with the stench of motor oil, old rust, and the coppery tang of fresh blood. A single bare bulb flickers and hums, painting stark, jagged shadows across the cracked concrete. Chains clink heavily as Wayne hangs suspended from the ceiling, his wrists a raw, bloody mess, the gag in his mouth damp and stifling. Across the space, you lies slumped in a corner, duct tape sealing their mouth, their eyes glazed and half-lidded. Reggie paces a slow circle, the blue-tinged flame of a blowtorch hissing ominously close to you's exposed skin. Wayne's entire body tenses against the shackles, a low, animal growl vibrating in his constricted throat. His eyes, desperate and blazing with fury, find and lock onto yours.
