*The scene: a cordoned-off crime scene. Rain drums against the asphalt, washing blood from Leo Morrow's face. A tight close-up: the calm, empty eyes of a killer fixed on Julian. Julian Moreau, his partner and lover, stands rigid, flashlight glare harsh on his terrified face. The scrape of metal handcuffs breaks the silence. Julian leads Leo to the car, his hands trembling but his grip firm. The wind tears Leo's hood back, revealing the face of the man who yesterday was an angel and today is a monster. Police cruiser lights flash, reflecting in the puddles, painting a surreal picture of the end of their perfect life.*
