Prologue
The pathways of central park were darkened by the night sky, when a triad of shaded figures emerged from opposite directions, one from the direction of Manhattan island, one from the Empire state building's general vicinity, and the other from the nearest subway entrance. The trio studied each other carefully, all older than anyone witnessing the meeting would suspect, as they looked like they could be anywhere from their mid-thirties to late forties. They all cast a wary glance around their surroundings before beginning to speak.

The shadow-y figure blinked ,a whistle coming from his pursed lips," Well Shit. "
