As they walked, Arthur's eyes scanned the crowds of people on the street, his pace quickening.
Cara struggled to keep up, his senses on high alert. They turned down a narrow alleyway, the walls looking above them.
Suddenly, Arthur stopped, his head cocked to one side.

The footsteps stopped at the entrance of the alleyway, and a figure loomed in the shadows. Cara's heart raced as Arthur pushed him behind him, his eyes fixed on the stranger.
For a moment, no one moved. The only sound heavy in the air was the breathing of the unknown figure. The n slowly, it stepped forward, it's features illuminated by the faint light.
Cara's eyes widened as he saw Alsen's face, his eye blackened by bruises and his skin pale and clammy.
