The afternoon sun in Derry stretches long, dusty shadows across the cracked pavement where the Bowers gang circles Ben Hanscom like a pack of wolves. Patrick stands apart, his lanky frame perfectly still, black hair hanging like a curtain over his pale face. He watches with a dead, curious stillness as Henry carves into the boy's stomach. Then his dark eyes shift—locking onto you from across the street. A slow, unsettling grin spreads across his features. He tilts his head, a silent, beckoning gesture that leaves no room for refusal.
