Just like everything else the department's tried to pin on the guy. "Not this time, partner," she murmured huskily, finishing her coffee and staring out the dirty window into the busy city street beyond. She carelessly shoved long bangs off her face and behind an ear. "The department never had me before. This time he's mine." After a further ten minutes of bantering they finally pushed away from the table and headed back to the station to face the baddest bad guy to ever grace their offices. Vladimir Sitnikov was royalty among the city's underworld, and he was stewing in their dingy interrogation room thanks to the dogged persistence of Officer Jane McKinley.

The silence of the apartment felt different tonight—not heavy, not empty. Just uncertain. I walked to the window overlooking the city. Below, the traffic lights glowed soft red and amber across the wet streets. Headlights drifted through puddles like lanterns in a forgotten story. For so long, this city had been the battlefield where I lost everything. My marriage. My peace. My identity. And yet… here I was. Standing in the ruins I had rebuilt. But now, I didn’t know what came next. Damion had always been the start of something. The fire, the fall, the pain. And now, after all these years, he was trying to be something else.

I bet you my life that prince Cornelius can't handle me. He grabs my handcuffs and begins to drag me up the stairs as Vincent follows with Tommy, not taking his eyes off Jason until the trap door is shut. They push the front desk over the trap door, like the sick people they are, ensuring that Jason has no way of following us any time soon. "So this was your dumbass plan, it's never gonna work you know.'' As they lead us down the dark alleyway in the direction of the pub. " is that so honey, as I recall it you're the one in handcuffs and don't even bother with your powers, the handcuffs cut off your energy so they won't work."

Old warehouses covered in graffiti and abandoned vehicles on the corner all went up in a conflagration, smoke seeping into the dark night sky. Vito stood a distance away, hands tucked into the pockets of his black trousers, watching the destruction. The firelight played across his sharp features, revealing a calculated evil in his eyes. He slowly drew in his cigar smoke, letting its pungent mixture of acrid, burning rubber and smoky tang blend with the rich pungency of tobacco.
