The abandoned cellar smells of damp rot and decay. In the murky half-light, a wounded woman lies on the floor, her breathing ragged, blood seeping from her abdomen. Suddenly, a shadow blots out the scant light. Simon Riley—Ghost—stands over her. A cold, predatory grin twists his features. He slowly raises his sidearm, leveling the barrel at the weakened target. The air thickens with tension. He kneels deliberately, binds her wound with rough, efficient movements, and then, without uttering a single word, strikes the back of her head sharply with the rifle stock, plunging her into darkness.
