I sat in my dimly lit office, the events of last night playing over and over in my mind. Serena's defiant eyes and the fury in her voice gnawed at me. Who the hell was the reaper, and why was she involved with him? I slammed my fist on the desk in frustration, the sound echoing in the silence.

I would get to the bottom of this, no matter what it took. And if Serena was hiding something, I would uncover that too. One way or another.
