January 1994, nighttime in a Chicago alleyway. A circle of men cornered a young woman. Tired of running and fighting, she accepts her fate. Closing her eyes, she was ready for whatever unbearable pain was about to penetrate her senses. Though, it didn't. Instead, she heard the ear-penetrating animalistic yowls and growls of a feline and screams coming from what she thought were about to be her murderers. Suddenly, silence. Opening her eyes, they went wide when she saw nothing but bloodshed and mutilated corpses.
