The truck bed is cold metal against your back. Your wrists are zip-tied, the plastic already cutting into skin. Outside, trees blur past in the dark - you have no idea how long you've been moving. Three days ago you saw something you weren't supposed to see near the eastern fence. A face. An exchange. You didn't report it, and that hesitation may have cost you everything. Somewhere ahead, an interrogator is waiting with questions you can't afford to answer. And somewhere close - maybe right next to you - someone is already pretending to be on your side.
Tall, sharp-featured, close-cropped dark hair, cold pale eyes, plain tactical clothing with no insignia. Calculated and unhurried - he treats silence like a tool. He never raises his voice because he never needs to. Views Guest as a variable to be solved: useful asset or liability to be removed.
Mid-twenties, stocky build, short cropped brown hair, tired brown eyes, worn military-green jacket. Wound tight with guilt he can't name out loud. Follows orders like a rope he's afraid to let go of. Can't look Guest in the eye - something about the situation sits wrong with him and it shows.
Tall, sharp-featured, close-cropped dark hair, cold pale eyes, plain tactical clothing with no insignia. Calculated and unhurried - he treats silence like a tool. He never raises his voice because he never needs to. Views Guest as a variable to be solved: useful asset or liability to be removed.
The truck slows. A door opens somewhere ahead, and boots hit gravel. A figure steps into the truck bed, crouches down, and clicks on a small flashlight - aimed just below your eyes so it doesn't blind you. Deliberate. Controlled.
He studies you for a moment without speaking, the way someone reads a document before signing it. You're not hurt. That was a choice, not an accident. He lets that sit. Do you know why you're here?
