A deathly clarity settles over me.

This is it. This is the end.

Whatever happens, I won’t give in. If he kills me, I’m going to take some

pieces of Shaw with me.

I slip out of my heavy coat, letting it fall behind me. Allowing the soft flakes

of snow to settle in my hair and on my bare shoulders. Feeling their cool kiss

one last time.

“You tried to murder me before,” I tell Shaw. “As a killer and an artist …

you’re mediocre.”

Shaw’s upper lip twists from a grin into a snarl. His teeth clench so hard I can

almost hear them cracking, and his fists shake. With a howl, he charges down

the alley.

He’s running right at me, getting bigger and bigger, until his shoulders almost

touch both walls.

He’s a wrecking ball swinging right at me. There’s nowhere to run.

Out of a passageway in the dark glass, Cole barrels into Shaw, diving at his

legs, sending them both tumbling end over end, until they slam into the

opposite wall.

There is no strategy. There is no plan.

Cole is already gasping and sweating and bleeding everywhere before the

fight has even begun. He grapples with Shaw, no element of surprise on his

side. From the second they make contact, it’s a melee of madness: desperate,

bloody, and brutal.

The men fight and claw, biting, punching, and kicking, rolling over and over

in the snow. The ground becomes a morass of churned-up mud and bloody

slush.

This is like no fight I’ve ever seen, wildly hectic, viciously brutal. I can

hardly tell one man from another as they punch at each other’s throats and

gouge at each other’s eyes. This is how predators fight: not to win, but to kill.
