Chapter 12

I sit there for a long time, trying to understand what just happened with Cain and, more importantly, what it means going forward. It’s becoming pretty damn obvious that he isn’t going to let this go. For whatever reason, he’s intent on finding the Reaper, and he’s decided I’m his best chance at getting the answers he seeks. I’d hoped if I continued to tell him I didn’t know anything that he would drop it, but somehow he knows I’m fucking lying, and like a dog with a bone, he’s going to keep hounding me until he gets answers.

A headache is forming behind my eyes as I struggle to think of a suitable solution. Unable to come up with anything, I groan in frustration as I get to my feet. By the time I’m changed and have locked up behind me, it’s nearly three a.m. As I make the familiar walk back to my apartment, I swear I can feel eyes on me, and I constantly peer into the darkness around me, trying to identify where it’s coming from. I know, whoever it is, isn’t Cain. The way this person’s eyes dig into my skin, it lacks Cain’s intensity, the heat that scalded my skin, but it’s no less distracting, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand to attention.

The eyes follow me until I slip into the doorway of my apartment building, and when I’ve reached my place, I make a point of not turning on any lights so I can peer out the window to the street below. I catch a flicker of movement at the corner of the street, but when I squint in that direction, I see nothing but shadows. After a few more moments, when there’s no more movement from outside, I turn away from the window. I might not see anyone, but I know they’re out there. Watching. But, who are they? And more importantly, what do they want?
