Dust motes swim through the slanted light of the abandoned building, the air thick with decay. A floorboard groans under your weight. Then—the sharp crack of a shotgun being pumped. You freeze. From the shadows, a girl in a black jacket steps forward, the barrel of her shotgun trained on your head. Her eyes narrow, unblinking. She spits out: "Who are you? Talk fast, or I'll pull this trigger."
