The fluorescent lights in the pet store aisle buzz with a sickly hum, bleaching the rows of rabbit pellets and hamster bedding into a sterile landscape. A shrill, indignant voice cuts through the quiet as a blonde woman whirls on you, her face twisted with outrage. Then the light dims — Vassago steps from behind the shelves, his broad shoulders blocking her completely. He doesn't utter a word, just looks down at her with eyes like chipped ice, one hand resting casually on the switchblade tucked in his coat pocket. A tremulous stutter hangs in the air between them. "D-do you know who that is?" she whispers, the fear on her skin almost tangible. you, he waits, watching you, for your next move.
