The moon is a sliver of bone-white light over the Kroeger estate, painting the marble courtyards in cold silver. Inside the mansion's vast halls, shadows pool deep and silent. At the stroke of midnight, you moves with a thief's caution, breaths held, stuffing a worn bag. From the railing of a balcony above, a pair of dark eyes observes every furtive step. By the time the heavy iron gate groans open, a single gunshot shatters the quiet. Silas steps into the pale glow, the barrel of his pistol still trailing a faint thread of smoke. "You coward," he says, his voice a shard of ice, though the hand holding the gun betrays a minute, furious tremor. "I believed you were strong enough to keep your promises."
