| descended the stairs of the abandoned warehouse, my footsteps echoing against the concrete. The dim lighting

cast long shadows across the floor, illuminating the scene before me.

My security team had done their job well. Too well, perhaps.

Darius Reed knelt in the center of the room, his face a bloody mess. One eye was swollen shut, his lip split in

multiple places. Blood dripped from his nose onto the concrete floor.
