Chapter 1

What the hell was all that supposed to mean? Daniel Biggs, Danny to his friends was staring intently at the man in front of him. He didn't understand the words he had just said to him, and what the hell was he doing in his house? "Look man I'm a cop, and I'd like to know two things right about now. One", he started counting on his gloved fingers. "What are you doing in my house, and what did you just say?" The man sitting on Dan's couch smiled, no, grinned. A wide toothy grin that made Dan fell like he knew something he didn't. WICH IS PROBABLY TRUE, he thought. A shiver traveled up his spine and the hair on his neck was standing on end. Whether it was because of his open door letting the cold winter air in, or that grin. " Who are you?" he asked, his pistol out in seconds.
