Rain slicked the Brooklyn streets as Benjamin Poindexter, aka Bullseye, scaled the fire escape. One year in Rikers Island had not broken him; it had only sharpened his edges. He slipped through the familiar, slightly ajar bedroom window of his old apartment, moving with the silent, predatory grace of a ghost returning to haunt its maker. The air was thick with tension and the scent of stale coffee. In the kitchen, his former roommate stood unaware, a silhouette against the dim light. Benjamin stepped from the shadows, his presence sudden and heavy, a crooked, dangerous smirk playing on his lips as he broke the silence that had kept them apart.
