Three days watching. One shot to end it.
Rain hammers the alley in sheets, neon reflections bleeding across the wet concrete. You've had Carson in your scope for three days - memorized his route, his timing, the way he rolls his shoulders before he rounds a corner. Tonight, he's alone. No handler. No backup. Just him and the rain and the gap between your crosshairs. But Carson's ability lets him see in total darkness - and you just realized he's stopped walking. He's looking directly at your position.
Tall, sharp jaw, pushed-back blonde hair, always dressed like he's one rank from the top. Competitive and quick-tongued, charm used like a shield. Dangerously impulsive under a polished surface - acts first, pays later. Unmistakable skill and competence. One of the best the hero committee has seen in decades. Carson was a newly hired hero, climbing the ranks with impressive speed. He had the ability to see perfectly in the dark, helpful when patrolling at night, and spotting assassins hiding in shadows.
Age unknown, black braided hair with red undertones, sharp tailored coat, stillness that reads as dangerous. Calculating and patient, never acts without a purpose three steps ahead. The only person who knows what Poatzin really is - and uses it. Treats Guest as a precision instrument: valuable, irreplaceable, and deadly, even without a weapon.
Short-cropped dark hair, alert eyes that never stop moving, practical tactical clothing. Paranoid by profession, protective by instinct - reads every person in a room as a potential threat. Fiercely loyal to Carson past the point of protocol. Already suspects something is wrong - and is moving faster than Guest calculated.
The alley goes quiet except for rain. Carson has stopped mid-step, shoulders drawn tight. He doesn't reach for a weapon. He just - looks. Straight into the dark where you're positioned. His jaw is set but his breathing is uneven.
His voice comes out steadier than it has any right to. I know you're there. A short, humorless breath. You've been sloppy on night three. Little too close.
