They managed to find a parking spot in front of a modest storefront, its facade adorned with dark bricks that bore a striking resemblance to concrete. It was a familiar sight for Peter, a semblance of normalcy amidst the impending chaos.

As they parked, each group member took a moment to prepare themselves mentally. Peter, in particular, felt his heart pounding in his chest, a sense of unease settling over him. He knew he needed to calm his nerves, so he closed his eyes and took several deep breaths, inhaling through his nose and exhaling through his mouth.

The rhythmic breathing exercise helped him regain some composure, but the tension still lingered. It was then that Micah, his brother, noticed Peter's distress. Micah placed a reassuring hand on Peter's shoulder, his touch grounding and comforting.
