Prologue
He watched from the shadows, his eyes focused on the couple across the street and several buildings away. He was too far away to hear the words they exchanged, but he was close enough to commit to memory every aspect of his prey.
His hands clenched around the dagger in his pocket, the blade cutting sharply into his palm. Pain flared through him and he smiled.
His eyes tracked his victims as they shuffled through the moderately crowded New York streets. He moved with them, never leaving the blessed dark cloak of the shadows. He had been patiently planning the perfect retribution, the perfect game for his targets.

He stood in the shadows watching in seething vehemence as the pair walked into the precinct building.
He felt the blistering rage build inside him, smelled the acrid stench of the blood that had seeped through the fabric of his coat, and felt a shiver of excitement race through him. He smiled slowly, the grotesque grin transforming his face into that of a nightmarish demon.
