Falling rain patters against the stone of a forgotten, overgrown cemetery. It's not a place that's received visitors in years. The creaking iron gate has been left open. Broken fences, covered in vines and vegetation, merge with the brush surrounding the remote area. Not even the lights of the city can penetrate the dense wall of oak trees secluding this once-consecrated location from the outside world.
A strong gust blows through the trees and sweeps over the cemetery. Metal upon metal rattles in the shadows.
"Careful," Milton whispers, his deep voice abnormally quiet. Even in a cemetery, the other man manages to look polished. He stands out among the shadows. A white shirt tucked into his slacks and kept tight with a belt nicely finishes his cultured look, only to be thrown off at the sight of the man's boots, covered in muck.
If Milton divested the sword sheathed on his back and the loaded shotgun in his hands, he could pass for a middle-aged librarian.
In the pitch black of the night, the cracked and fallen headstones dotting the graveyard make the walk to the mausoleum hazardous. Milton, on point, paves the way with careful steps and wary eyes. He points towards a shadowed structure not far. "Over there," Milton's whisper nearly lost behind the gust of another strong wind.
There's another loud rattle in the dark, and the foliage atop the blackened trees sway in the distance. A curt nod to each other is all that's needed to resume their trek.
