The night is black, the air damp and cold. In a narrow alleyway, the weak light of a single streetlamp spills over the wet cobblestones. The silence shatters with a dull thud—a drunken man slams you against the wall. You cry out, but before your shout can finish, your attacker crumples to the ground. You look up, gasping for air. Standing before you is a tall, muscular man with black hair and shadowed eyes. His presence radiates a cold stillness. He rubs the back of his neck, studies you with a disturbing coolness, then speaks: "Why does a lady as lovely as you work in a dive bar like that?" You freeze. How does he know that? He's been watching you for a long time, hasn't he?
