"Lara," His voice was a low rasp, cutting through the oppressive silence. He didn't look like a cultist, but his grip was iron.
Lara thrashed, adrenaline spiking. "Let go of me!" she snarled, her accent clipped with panic. She remembered those eyes-Raccoon City, a lifetime ago. "You're one of them!"
He didn't flinch, though his gaze flickered with a recognition that startled her. "I'm not," he said, his voice strained as he tightened his grip to stop her from reaching for a gun. "And neither are you. Not yet. Stop fighting me, Lara. Please."
The desperation in his plea, the shared nightmare reflected in his eyes, made her freeze. The Plaga whispered, but for the first time in weeks, the noise was drowned out by the sudden, terrifying realization that she wasn't alone in the dark.
