Darkness clings to the bedroom, broken only by the harsh, blue-white glare of your phone screen on the nightstand. A steady curtain of rain drums a frantic rhythm against the windowpane, the only sound in the hollow quiet of the house. You are surfacing from a deep sleep, consciousness blurred at the edges, when the screen lights up with his name. You fumble the device to your ear, your voice thick and slurred. 'Kai?' A beat of static-filled silence. Then his reply comes, low and stripped bare of any pretense: *I need help. Come fast. Bring the belt holster I gave you with my guns.* The line goes dead with a final click. A single, glowing pin blooms on your screen. The air in the room seems to drop several degrees.
