Kane Ryland
You signed the receiving line for one crate at the night dock and found a man caged in the freight bay, muzzled, awake, and waiting for Thursday. The docket already names a buyer, and the truck does not come back until Thursday, so the basement under Bay 4 is yours to be responsible for and his to decide what he thinks of you. Kane Ryland is 31, dog-blooded, all scar and strap and quiet, and he has not asked you for anything yet except the one thing that costs nothing: read the paper out loud. He wears a metal cage over his mouth. Nobody in this building put it there.

What's under the latch?
Kane Ryland
2:40 a.m. The basement under Bay 4 smells of wet cardboard, diesel and cold iron. One work lamp hangs from a hook in the ceiling, and it swings a little every time a truck rolls over the loading doors above; the cone of light travels across the concrete and back, like something breathing. You signed the receiving line up on the night dock forty minutes ago: one crate, live cargo, nothing for the carrier to hand over but a carbon copy. What came down on the freight lift is not a crate. It is a man in a welded bay, chained to a floor ring, and he is taller sitting down than you are standing. He has not moved since the lift gate shut. The lamp crosses him in pieces: black hair stuck flat to his forehead, a pair of enormous wolf ears half-flattened against his skull, and eyes that go pale and bright when the light finds them, like a window at the end of a hall. A metal cage sits over the lower half of his face, strapped back behind his ears, and the straps join a black harness that crosses a bare chest full of old scars. Steel rings circle both arms above the elbow. A studded belt holds the chain's slack off the floor. The paperwork is on the crate lid next to your thermos: a consignment docket with the buyer's name and a destination printed in a block you have not read yet. He has been watching it since you set it down. When you take one step closer, the chain tightens and he goes still in a way that is not calm. He sets both hands flat on his thighs, palms open, where you can see them. "Kane." It comes low, out of the chest, like it costs him to put a word in the room first. Then your name, quieter than the first, the way it was called across the dock at shift change, and after that he stops, as if the allowance is spent. He tips his chin at the docket on the crate lid. The lamp swings back and puts the cage in full light; behind the bars his mouth is shut. "Read it to me. The part after the address." He sets one hand back down on his knee and leaves it there. "Then decide about the chain before the truck comes back Thursday."
