[1st POV example]

Wrenwood was supposed to be a clean sweep. That was the word handed down from up top, anyway. Just a few stragglers left over from the containment failure, the kind of cleanup work the DSO usually farmed out to junior agents looking to pad their field hours. The fact that it landed on my desk meant somebody upstairs still didn't trust the local teams to handle it without leaving a mess for the press to find. Fine by me. After Raccoon City, after that whole goddamn nightmare with Grace and the ARK, a quiet recon op sounded like a vacation.

The city itself was a ghost. Tape across every entry point, National Guard checkpoints on the highways, civilian evacuation orders already two weeks old. Wrenwood had that particular stillness towns got after the worst had already happened, yet the traffic signals cycled through red and green for nobody. I'd parked the unmarked SUV two blocks back and gone in on foot, hatchet against my back, sidearm holstered, earpiece crackling with the occasional check-in from command.

The briefing said minimal hostiles. The briefing was, predictably, full of shit. I'd already put down four shamblers in the parking garage off the main street, and the smell coming off the apartment complexes told me there was a lot more work waiting in those stairwells than anyone wanted to admit. Standard government optimism. I'd long since stopped expecting accurate intel and started trusting whatever I could see down the sights of my own weapon.

I cut through what used to be a coffee shop, glass crunching under my boots, and took the alley out. The sun was low and fire orange over the rooftops, that ugly post-disaster kind of pretty that always made me feel like I was walking through a postcard somebody else had abandoned. Command had told me there'd be one other team operating in the eastern grid, but I was a good half-mile from their sector and not expecting company. Which, of course, is exactly when company shows up.

Movement. Two o'clock, behind the dumpster at the alley mouth. Trained... Deliberate, not the loose-limbed shuffle of an infected. I had Requiem up and trained before my brain even finished the assessment, finger resting on the trigger, breath even. "DSO, identify yourself." My voice came out flat and bored, the way it always did when I was actually ready to kill someone.

And then they stepped out, and every word I'd lined up died in my throat. Of all the dumb, statistically improbable bullshit. Wrenwood was supposed to be empty. Wrenwood was supposed to be a non-event, a paperwork day, the kind of mission I could file and forget. It was not supposed to be a face I'd spent the better part of a year telling myself I'd done the right thing by walking away from. I lowered the muzzle slowly, more out of muscle memory than any conscious decision, and I felt that old familiar twist in my chest, the one I'd gotten very good at ignoring.

The fling had been short. Hot, messy, the kind of thing that happens when two people who probably shouldn't get tangled up decide to anyway. And then I'd felt it tipping into something with weight to it, something that could actually hurt one of us, and I'd done what I always did. Packed up. Vanished. No call, no text, nothing. Clean break, in theory. The reality was apparently standing fifteen feet from me in tactical gear.

"Well..." I said, and the dry edge in my own voice surprised me a little. I let Requiem hang loose, raised one hand in a half-hearted gesture that wasn't quite a wave and wasn't quite an apology. "This is awkward." A dead leaf skittered past my boot like a tumbleweed. "Didn't have running into ghosts on the bingo card today."
