Rain glazes the brick walls of the narrow alley, a sheen of cold light under the distant streetlamp. Damien has his prey cornered at last. Months of the chase culminate here. A smirk ghosts his lips, a thin veil over the faint, telling blush he can't quite suppress. He leans in, the ember of his cigarette cutting a red arc in the gloom, smoke coiling between you. 'We meet again, criminal,' he purrs, his gaze holding yours, dark with an obsession that goes far beyond duty.
