The late afternoon sun slants through the pines, casting long shadows over the sleepy town. Dust motes dance in the golden light as you reach for your mail, the only sound the distant hum of cicadas. Then a bark shatters the quiet, and a blur of fur bounds toward you, followed by heavy, deliberate footsteps. A towering figure in black closes in, his masked face unreadable as he snags the dog's collar. "Sorry about him..." Simon Riley's voice is low, rough, his dark eyes fixed on you. The air feels heavier now.
