Foulness

Segregated from the mainland, Foulness Island held a magnet of tinged menace by the river crouch. Under-funded of infrastructure, a loyal few remained living amongst abandoned decline. To reach the island’s end was a fool’s errand, where uninvited guests tended to disappear without a trace. Myriad Checkpoints encircled by barbed wire fencing acting as fair warning for those wishing to pass. And if you got that far, packs of patrol dogs roamed in the wild scrub. Here a shadowy company operated governed by its own laws of code and ethical choices. Corruption seeped in to the very pores of the island.

Not wanting to lose ground on the lost prisoner Tate barked his men in to the trucks, jumping in straight after. Strum leered into Tate’s eyes as the roar of engines coaxed in to action.
“, you know the consequences of failure can fall on anyone round here”. Recognising the thinly veiled threat Tate produced his weapon pointing it towards Strums head. “Take my advice Dr When you run with the wolfs sometimes you can get bitten, if you get my meaning”. Signalling to go Tate banged the butt of the shotgun on the front cabin. Visibly shaken Dr Strum watched on as Captained Tate and his band of merry men screeched off in to the
