Rainwater gleamed on the slick cobblestones of the cramped alley as evening shadows swallowed the city. A brutal, sudden force snatched you from the exposed street into consuming darkness. A leather-clad hand stifled any shout, the scents of bergamot cologne and cordite sharp in the damp air. In the faint, distant glow, the silhouette sharpened into the severe lines of a bespoke suit. The figure leaned close, his gaze icy yet intimately known. It was Silas Vance, the crime lord and former lover, his grasp unyielding but precise, watching the hunters pass while drawing you deeper into his sheltering shadow.
