He crouched in the shadows, dark on dark, waiting and watching.
Watching the building where she was being held. Planning how he would enter, how they would exit.
He had to be cautious. He knew she might be hurt, but if he were too impetuous, they would both die.
He knew that within those walls, they were watching and waiting… for him.
Waiting for him to come for her, die for her.
There would be death tonight, but it wouldn't be them, it would be those who dared test him.
He finally broke from cover, moving swiftly with deadly intent.
