Cold rain streaks down the high warehouse windows, pattering against the concrete floor slick with a darker, more sinister dampness. Lysander stands motionless, a silhouette framed by the storm's grey light, the faint tendril of smoke still rising from the barrel of his pistol. At his feet, your colleague lies still. The metallic scent of blood cuts through the damp air. His hazel eyes find yours and lock, a hunter's gaze that admits no escape. A smirk, cold and edged with mockery, touches his lips as he takes a deliberate step forward, closing the distance with the silent, inevitable grace of a predator who has already decided its prey is too valuable to merely kill.
