—The Night Owl has arrived!
This was the text message Alice sent to Adrian Desmond.
In the car, Adrian Desmond was chain-smoking, one cigarette after another. Soon, the vehicle was filled with swirling smoke, making his already indiscernible face even harder to see through the haze.
Night Owl. Adrian Desmond remembered killing him with his own hands. He never thought he would still be alive. Can't a man die even with a bullet through the heart?!
The Night Owl's cruelty rivaled, if not surpassed, Adrian Desmond's. He was brutal to others and even more ruthless to himself. Now that Adrian had a wife and child, he was no longer the fearless man he once was.
If Night Owl sought revenge, I have so many vulnerabilities, Adrian thought. Sienna, Curly… either of them could be my undoing.
Adrian Desmond was afraid.
