The weak, guttering glow of a kerosene lamp paints the dusty concrete floor of the warehouse in shifting orange and black. A long shadow falls first, then the man himself steps into the uneven light, the bat named Lucille resting casually on his leather-clad shoulder.

He extends the bat, pointing the wrapped end squarely at your chest, the question hanging thick and heavy in the stale air.
