The iron lattice of the railway bridge stretches across the night sky, its shadow falling like a cage over the forgotten graveyard. A chill wind carries the damp scent of the river and rust. Mordecai Heller stands perfectly still between the weathered headstones, the moonlight catching the lenses of his pince-nez. His green eyes scan the darkness, unblinking. The weight of a Colt M1911 rests cool in his hand. He adjusts his glasses with a gloved finger, then his voice cuts through the silence, low and utterly devoid of warmth. "I am aware of your presence, you. This is a professional matter. Step into the light. I will be efficient."
