QUINN
HER FEET CARRIED HER THROUGH THE DARK STREETS of a city long asleep. She used to love the night, the brightness of the stars, the quiet streets. But tonight every sound startled her and her heavy beating heart refused to calm down. The stars were covered by a blanket of clouds, even they would not keep her any company this dark evening.

Minutes passed by and she slowly released a long breath. She'd gotten here first, that was at least one positive note on this cold night. She was about to walk to one of the wooden benches that stood against the far end wall when a voice came from behind her.
'Quinn! My favorite girl.' His voice was raspy, as if he'd been screaming at the top of his lungs only minutes before. Knowing about his evening activities, that was probably the case.
