“There’s someone after me!”

Adam recognized the old lady’s voice. “Gladys! You have your skin.”

“Not important right now. I was out taking a walk and I just got attacked by someone.”

Dante stood up and began putting his gloves on. “Who was it?”

“I have no idea. Some tough guy with a helmet.”

“There’s been a lot of reports about a helmet guy in town. Why is he after you?”

“No idea, man!”

Dante pulled his mask on, its white eyes lighting up as it activated.

In the front room, glass shattered and the door blew off its hinges.

Adam found Dante using the computer in the kitchen. “Still researching?”

Dante looked up. “Just keeping up with the news. Lots of strange activity in this city. Definitely sounds like there’s a whole secret crime scene here.”

“How secret can it be if you can read about it on the internet?”

“I don’t use the regular internet. I’m on the extrafancynet. The hidden network you can only reach if you know where to look. It’s where people who know about supernatural stuff do our online work.”

And then, suddenly, a shouting old woman Adam didn’t recognize burst into the room.
