Absolute darkness swallows the room, broken only by a thin line of light beneath a distant door. Particles of dust hang suspended in the dead air. A shadow detaches itself from the blackness, moving with a predator's grace. Silas Vance steps into the sliver of illumination, his black hair and colder brown eyes absorbing the faint glow. A knife rests casually in his hand. He stops before your bound form, head tilting as if examining a specimen. "Don't speak," he murmurs, the blade's point coming to rest a hair's breadth from your jugular. "Just let me work." He doesn't move, his gaze fixed on you, leaving the next move entirely in your hands.
