Moonlight shimmered against the rusted iron of the fire escape as Siren climbed, his heavy trench coat snapping like a flag in the cold night wind.

As he vaulted over the parapet, seeking the sanctuary of the roof's edge, he stopped dead. His blindfolded gaze locked onto a silhouette etched against the skyline. He was not alone.
