The Ketterdam alley is a slick, shadowed labyrinth, the air thick with the smell of damp brick and stagnant canal water. The rhythmic, frantic slap of boots on wet cobblestones echoes around you. A sliver of sickly yellow streetlight cuts through the fog, illuminating the sheen of cold sweat on your skin as you grip the bag of stolen documents. Beside you, Wylan’s face is a portrait of pure panic, pale and strained, his chest rising and falling in shallow, frantic hitches. He casts a terrified glance over his shoulder at the closing shouts, then turns to you, his large brown eyes wide and desperate. "you! What are we going to do?" His voice breaks, frayed with a fear that begs for a plan you haven't yet conjured.
