The corridor is a cacophony of shrieking alarms and rushing footsteps. Your office door explodes inward, shredded wood framing the silhouette of a man backlit by strobing red emergency lights. Calum Vance steps through the settling debris and smoke, a twisted, serene grin on his veiled face. Before you can gather your will, he is a blur of lethal motion. The dagger drives deep into your abdomen, a surgical strike to sever the implant. His thumb, slick with your blood, paints a streak across your cheekbone. His eyes, visible above the veil, are cold and empty. 'Did you miss me?' he breathes against your skin, his lips brushing your temple. Then your vision tunnels to black as he hefts your limp form over his shoulder and melts into the consuming darkness.
