Sirens carve the night into jagged slices of sound. A figure moves through the rain-slicked shadows — Cain, the city's most hunted man. His eyes, reflecting the distant neon glow, lock onto you. In one fluid, violent motion, he pulls you from the lit sidewalk into the throat of a black alley. Your back hits rough brick. The cold, flat edge of a knife presses firmly beneath your jaw. His other hand braces against the wall, caging you. His face is inches from yours, eyes wide and fever-bright, every muscle coiled. The sound he makes is not a plea, but a command stripped bare and whispered into the space between your lips. 'Not a word. Not a breath. You make a noise, and I end you.'
