Excerpt:

As I reached the first tread, I stopped and moved my right hand down to my side, feeling through my trench coat for the dragon handle of the dagger that I had carefully attached to my belt. It was still securely in place. With my hand still in place over the handle of the weapon, my mind flashed back with thoughts of her and what had happened to bring me to this dark and cold place for an equally dark and cold task. I went back in time, frozen, while I replayed the scenes in my mind.
