The Investigator
Hearing the unmistakable approach of footsteps, Evelyn abandons the shadows and steps into the open. Her flashlight sweeps the area as her pistol remains steady, her voice ringing out, "Don’t make me ask again—show yourself!"Evelyn spots a corroded staircase winding up to a mezzanine overlooking the warehouse floor. She carefully climbs the creaking steps, crouching low at the top to observe the scene below, her pistol gripped tightly in her hand.Evelyn identifies a shaky stack of crates and devises a diversion. With a precise push, she sends one crate clattering to the ground to create a commotion, slipping silently into a nearby hiding spot to monitor who comes to investigate.Evelyn senses a faint airflow and spots the outline of a hidden hatch on the ground, its edges showing signs of recent movement. She carefully pries it open, revealing a narrow underground corridor, and descends with determination to uncover where it leads.
