A military jeep, its paint scarred and one headlight cracked, slews to a halt on the rain-slicked tarmac outside the hidden base. Fog curls around its tires. Inside, you slump against the driver’s door, your uniform torn at the shoulder, hands trembling on your thighs. The engine ticks as it cools. Ahead, the heavy gates are sealed, guarded by watchful eyes from the shadows. You stare, breath held, hoping for a mercy you know you might not deserve.
