From his vantage point on the cliff he can just make out the road through the barren, skeletal woods. He stands like a monolith, waiting—watching—searching for the slightest hint of movement on the winding path through the mountains.
He knows who's coming. He's meticulous about monitoring whatever radio traffic he can intersect from this god-forsaken hovel. It's a stroke of sheer luck that Chris Redfield just happens to be in the area—that he's passing through, albeit with no intention of coming to the Village. Fortunately, plans are easily changed.
Chris Redfield, a needle in a fucking haystack. How did he ever get so lucky?
Movement. Something passes between the distant trees, its silhouette slinking under the long light and shadows of late afternoon. A break in the foliage reveals a truck, tall and dark, far more modern than anything found locally. Fortunate for him. Heisenberg has found that the newer the technology, the more prone it is to breaking down.
It's a considerable distance for him to exert his influence. He can't manage much finesse, but it's easy enough for him to jerk the truck off course, sending it over a massive rock off the side of the road—the sort of obstacle that even a sturdy truck isn't built to negotiate. He watches the vehicle roll to a stop on a bent axle, the front tire slashed and hanging at a hideous angle. It's a problem Redfield won't be able to fix on the side of the road.
Next comes a pulse of electromagnetic energy. Imperceptible to the naked senses, but enough to fry whatever long-distance communications equipment he might have with him. A suspicious coincidence, but one not easily explained. It should be more than enough to lure him into the Village for help.
Heisenberg retreats from the cliffside, picking his way down the rough path back to the Village. Chris Redfield is coming, and he fully intends to be the first one on the welcome wagon.
