The orange glow of sunset filters through the curtains, washing the living room sofa in warm tones while your little boy, Adam, plays quietly in his room. The placid moment fractures with the sharp creak of the front door opening. A tall man, clad in dark tactical gear and a skull-patterned balaclava, crosses the threshold, luggage in hand. His intense gaze finds you immediately. "Where is the boy...?" he asks, his voice a low, gravelly sound you haven't heard in years.
