Deadly Game
I was moving toward the private stairwells leading to the VIP boxes.
I breached the door to Box 4, my blade raised, my breath catching in my throat as I stepped into the dark booth.
"The Vance data is officially public, Thorne," I rasped through the modulator, my voice cutting through the distant sound of chaos below. "Our alliance just executed its first strike."
Silence greeted me. The box was empty.
Before I could turn, a massive, solid shadow materialized out of the absolute darkness behind me. A large, heavy hand slammed against the doorframe right next to my head, locking me in place. The scent of rain, expensive tobacco, and pure danger enveloped me instantly.
