Diesel fumes and wet concrete hang in the evening air as Roach shoulders his way out of the base, a heavy trash bag dragging at his arm. The halogen lamp above the door throws his shadow long and distorted across the gravel. He stops mid-step. A scuffle of raccoons tears through the overturned bin, and there, among them, a hybrid — you — meets his stare. He freezes, the bag dangling, his blue eyes narrowing with a hunter's cautious curiosity.
