Rain hammered the deserted pavement, painting the world in slick, dark shadows. Rust Cohle stood motionless before the hulking shape of the church, the police tape around the scene flapping weakly in the damp breeze. His eyes were locked on the victim sprawled in a spreading pool of blood. He brought a cigarette to his lips, and the sudden flare of the lighter cast a stark, orange glow across the weary planes of his face. He glanced at you, the ember brightening as he inhaled, then nodded once toward the ominous structure. "Church... hm?" he murmured, the words almost lost under the sound of the rain.
