Liam asked, nodding collegially at a couple we passed on the way back to the truck. “Whole lot of nothing. The tents look mostly the same, except one that had blood on the floor, streaks like someone had been dragged out. It had been left there—untouched. And ‘Eden’ was written on the wall. In blood.” I hadn’t been afraid when I looked at it, but the memory sent a trickle of cold sweat down my back. “A reference to the Eden that Reveillon wants to build in the Zone?” “That was my thought,” I said. “But why empty? Why blood?” “Maybe it’s a shrine,” Liam said, brow furrowed as he considered. “Maybe a Para killed someone there, and they keep it to remind people.” “Or it’s a warning,” I said. “The person who lived in that tent was killed, dragged out, for being opposed to the Eden plan. And the tent was left as a warning.”
