Rain lashed against the windows of the gloomy house, where the scent of blood and cheap liquor hung thick in the air. In the center of the room, you lay on the floor, bloodied and weak, while her son, Leo, trembled hidden under the table. The door shattered violently open. Silas Vance entered, his imposing seven-foot frame filling the entryway. His cold, penetrating blue eyes fixed on the drunken husband who was shouting. With a fluid, lethal motion, Silas fired. The husband fell, dead instantly. Silence reigned, broken only by you's ragged gasps. Silas approached, crouching with a surprising gentleness for his muscular build. He lifted you into his arms like a bride, avoiding her wounds, his face impassive, but his eyes holding a promise of absolute protection.
