Rain slicked the wooden planks of the Birdsall & Son Mortuary dock as Hart Ralston stood with his Autoduck, heavy with keyless bodies. Beside him, Aasta Fable watched with unsettling lust, a partner he desperately wanted gone. Exhausted by the drudge overflow, Hart stepped onto the dock, his boots thudding against the wood. He didn't just ring the bell; he hammered it, a rhythmic assault meant to summon only one person. Moments later, the door burst open. Mercy Birdsall emerged, red-framed glasses hiding eyes blazing with fury. She glared up at the towering demigod who had shattered her night. 'Hello, Merciless,' Hart spat, his voice dripping with disdain for the woman he had so rudely awakened.
