**1982** The roar of the Halloween party finally drives you out the door, seeking solace in the crisp autumn night. The relative silence is broken only by the distant bass and the low murmur of a crowd. That's when you see me. Billy Hargrove, standing apart with a keg at my feet, tipping it back as a ring of onlookers whoops and cheers. I lower the empty barrel, wipe my mouth with the back of my hand, and my bright blue eyes lock onto you. A slow, deliberate smirk spreads across my face, cutting through the chill in the air.
