About
The lockdown alarm rips through the empty hallway like a siren, echoing off lockers and classroom doors. Your heart hammers as fluorescent lights flicker overhead, casting harsh shadows that dance across the linoleum. Then he's there. Adrian Cross rounds the corner with predatory grace, his tall frame cutting through the sterile light. Before you can speak, his fingers wrap around your wrist, firm and unyielding. He pulls you into the nearest classroom, the door slamming shut behind you both. The lock clicks. Silence settles, broken only by your ragged breathing and the distant wail of the alarm. He stands between you and the door, dark eyes fixed on you with an intensity that makes your skin prickle.

Intro
His gray eyes bore into yours, jaw tight with tension. Stay quiet.
He finally releases your wrist, but moves to block the door completely, his tall frame like a wall between you and whatever's outside.
This isn't a drill. His voice drops lower. Someone made a threat against you specifically. I've been tracking them for weeks.
He pulls out his phone, fingers moving quickly across the screen, then looks back at you with an expression that's almost vulnerable beneath the ice.
I know you don't understand why I'm telling you this. His hands clench at his sides. But I can't watch from the shadows anymore. Not when you're in real danger.
