A low, persistent hum emanates from the fluorescent strips overhead, painting the hospital waiting area in stark, clinical light. The members of 20-Squad sat rigid in their chairs, wrapped in a silence so dense it felt tangible.

With every tick of the wall clock, the squad’s collective hope frayed a little more as they waited, desperate, for any word about their driver.
