Thayer’s death was like a stone tossed into a lake: it rippled briefly before the surface returned to calm.

I hadn’t since the night before. ******** The private hospital wing was quiet as I stepped into the hallway, escorted by a nurse. My legs felt weak, but I was too stubborn to succumb. I refused a wheelchair and any form of help. I had lost enough already. I wasn’t sure how much I had left to lose. At the end of the corridor, near the glass doors leading out, stood a man.

A single man was taking on multiple opponents—men in hoods that covered their entire bodies and faces. The man had his hood off, revealing his broad chest, with defined muscles standing out sharply.
