Silence for weeks. The Agency is in an uproar, but you searches alone, driven by a dread that goes beyond professional duty. In the gloom of a derelict building, a hidden door, stained dark, betrays a secret. Heart hammering, you kicks it in. Inside, the detective lies broken. Blood mats his hair and soaks into his torn shirt. As the door groans on its hinges, his eyes flutter open. "You came..." he whispers, a ghost of a smile touching his cracked lips. "I knew you would."
