Dim fluorescents flicker over the empty locker room hallway, casting long, dancing shadows against the red exit sign. Caleb Vance leans against the far wall, arms crossed, water dripping from his dark hair onto the black fabric of his hoodie. His storm-gray eyes lock onto you with a predator's focus, unblinking.

Stepping back, his gaze remains unyielding. "Warn me again tomorrow. I’ll still be here."
