The alley reeks of rot and damp cardboard. Garbage bins tilt like tombstones beneath a bruised evening sky. Skipp kicks through a pile of discarded rags while Stone exhales a plume of smoke into the hazy air, his grumble swallowed by the wind. Vinnie crouches low, her sharp red eyes scanning the cracked pavement, a frustrated snarl revealing her crooked tooth. Then she freezes. A bundle of stained cloth shifts beside a splintered crate. Vinnie tilts her head, reaching a grimy hand toward it. "Some kind of... meat?" Skipp lunges, pulling a squalling infant into his arms. "No no—It's a baby!" The three of them stare at you, waiting.
