London's gas lamps gutter and spit feeble amber light into the 3 a.m. murk as you makes their way home. Then, from a shadow-clotted corner, chaos erupts—a sickening crunch of impact, a high, piercing shriek. A small form, a girl, crumples to the wet cobblestones. Standing over her is a short, pale man, his hands curled into cruel-looking claws, his eyes catching the light with an animal's gleam. A crowd is already coalescing from the gloom, voices rising in alarm and anger, sealing off the narrow street. The man—Edward Hyde—lifts his gaze from the fallen child, his furious, trapped stare finding and locking onto you.
