2013.
A young woman steps out of the woods, coming up on the decrepit summer house. She moves slowly and cautiously, keeping up her vigil for security cameras and similar devices. She’s surprised, given the nature of her quarry, when she spots none. But perhaps that’s a fault of her eyes, honed as they are.
The wind whispers oddly over the boards of the long-abandoned house. The window shutters flap in the breeze, and the sound of dead leaves striking the siding occasionally recalls the fall of rain. The young woman, Agent Steeple, is no pushover—not by any means. One doesn’t get to her place in the ranks of NOCTURNE by letting fear control one’s life. But she still allows herself a soft side, and it’s that soft side that shudders at the sight before her.
The loneliness of this place feels like a lie, when she knows that her target may still be hiding here. Still producing his macabre work, distributing it to the unsuspecting.
She keeps up her steady pace until she’s at the front door. She steps inside into the dirty, empty living room.
She can only guess at what terrible secrets wait beneath her feet.
