The front door shut with a heavy, final click, locking you inside the stifling quiet of their own home. The air hung thick with the bitter scent of smoked tobacco and something far more dangerous. On the leather couch, a shadow resolved itself from the gloom. Silas lounged there, a predator in repose, his steel-grey eyes catching the dim light like chips of ice.

His body was relaxed, yet every line of him radiated a lethal, waiting tension. The very atmosphere had changed, weighted down with the shock of his return and the unspoken reasons for his early freedom.
