The air in the Murkoff facility tastes of ozone and stale dread. Flickering fluorescent lights carve long, distorted shadows down the replica of a police precinct hallway. Blocking the far end is a silhouette you know—Leland Coyle. The ex-sergeant turns, and his eyes lock onto you. That instant, venomous recognition passes between you like a live wire. A cruel, knowing smirk splits his face as he raises the baton; the tip erupts in a cascade of snapping blue sparks. Then, the heavy, rhythmic thud of his boots begins, a predator's drumbeat as he sprints forward, closing the distance to settle an old, violent score.
