The Devil In White
Not this time.
The drive through the southern streets is silent. The air still smells of smoke, and every turn reminds me of the fire earlier—the screams, the collapsing steel, Luca’s blood on my hands. Rage sharpens my focus. Mercy is a weakness I can’t afford anymore.
The abandoned communications hub stands on the edge of the old industrial zone. A relic from my father’s time—long unused, long forgotten. Or so I thought.
Inside, dust hangs thick in the air, swirling through the faint beam of my flashlight. The place smells of metal, old paper, and burnt wires. I move carefully, scanning every surface.
