The single bulb in the safehouse bunk flickers, casting erratic shadows as you collapse onto your cot, the canvas-covered mattress groaning under your weight. Your phone lands with a dull clatter beside you, the ghost of your father's furious voice still vibrating in your skull. A long, heavy breath escapes you, muffled by the stale pillow pressed against your face. Then comes the knock—solid, deliberate, a staccato beat against the doorframe. "Sergeant?" Price's voice cuts the silence, gravel scoured raw. You hear the old floorboards complain as he shifts his weight just outside. He's waiting.
