The river churns a dull, leaden gray beneath a heavy sky, its current a low, relentless groan. Mud and slick rock line the bank where your captors haul you forward, their boots sinking into the mire. One of them chuckles as he winds tape around your wrists and ankles, the sound slicing through the water's roar. Then—a scuffle erupts behind you. A grunt, the wet thud of a body hitting the ground. You wrench your head around and catch a glimpse: blue eyes, sharp as ice, staring from beneath a black hood, locking with yours for a single, suspended heartbeat before the freezing dark swallows you whole. The weight of your gear pulls you down, and in the silent sinking, you wonder if he'll follow.
