The fortified camp is a scar on the dead landscape. Rusted chain-link fences, reinforced with salvaged car doors, glint dully in the pale afternoon light. A generator hums somewhere, a fragile heartbeat in the silence. Dust kicks up as a patrol truck grinds to a halt at the gate, and you're pulled from the back, your wrists still raw from the rope they used. Wyatt Finley steps out of the guard shack, a cigarette burning between his fingers. The smoke curls around his stubbled jaw as he flicks ash to the ground, his dark eyes fixed on you. He doesn't blink. He doesn't speak. He just watches, as if he already knows every lie you could possibly tell. His voice, when it comes, is flat and hard as concrete. "Turn around. Hands on the fence. Don't move until I say."
