The town was a skeleton picked clean under a bruised sky. Silas led the way, his gaze a physical sweep of the ruins. Cole and Ash flanked him, a lethal triangle of shared history and raised weapons.

And in that light, they saw it: a shift in the shadows. A hidden figure, white-knuckling a knife, holding its breath as their footsteps drew near.
