"Highlander" is the first episode of the second season of Lincoln City.

## Episode

Somewhere far away from the bustling metropolis of Lincoln City, a moonlit country road is the scene of a tense chase, a man with claws and teeth can be seen running at an increasing speed from something, his agility and speed clearly superior to that of a humans, he is also grabbing his shoulder in pain and soon falls to his knees, he howls for backup as a man in a trenchcoat and hat can be seen following him with a pistol drawn, the man turns around to the hunter: "You shouldn't have come here, my clan will have your head for what you are doing to our ranks." - The man is revealed to have a somewhat tanned complexion, brown hair and hazel eyes as he looks down at the creature he is hunting, a fake police ID (used for hunting investigations) is barely visible as it hangs out of his coat pocket - the hunter's name is Alexander Hunter, he looks down on the man he is pursuing: "I'm only doing it because of your mindless cattle and sheep slaughters, farmers are losing money because of you, what I'm doing is out of precaution because what happens when all the livestock is gone one day?" this causes the man to pause however he avoids the subject by saying: "Shadow Clan is stronger than you know Hunter, mutilating livestock is our Alpha's way of attracting attention, one day though...someone will find this out the hard way" hearing enough, Alexander points his gun at the man, only to hear more howls in the distance: "Now I know that, your clan is about to find you dead...the hard way" before shooting the werewolf in the heart twice with silver bullets before retreating.

A few minutes later, several clan members rush down a nearby hillside and their Alpha, Aurora (a slightly older girl with long brown hair and delicate features that contrast with a somewhat muscular build) looks down at her fallen clan member and howls in anger as her eyes change to that of a wolf's.

Elsewhere, in Lincoln City, Shane can be seen in his garage "headquarters" looking over what he calls the Hunter Network, he also states how he needs to think of a better name for it, and soon finds himself coming across the same Werewolf case that Alexander was a part of - he reads the case file with great intrigue: "Caithness, Scotland: Local hunters are reporting supposed werewolves are interfering with livestock sales..." he gets sidetracked as he seems relieved that humans aren't on the menu before returning to his original train of thought as he continues reading: "Alexander Hunter was the first to come across this particular batch after they had already killed a few dozen sheep in the area just for sport however other reports claim sightings of these creatures are nothing new in Caithness..." - Shane stops reading and stares at the screen with wide eyes, and quickly scans the rest of the report: "...but if these stories are true... we need to send someone in..." he pauses before nodding his head, "I'll do it..." he says to himself in a rather reckless manner before preparing his hunting backpack, filling it to the brim with various equipment - he gives his Lorebook a check to see if he needs to bring anything specific to fight a Werewolf before zipping up the bag and heading to a nearby train station to begin the long journey northwards.

Back in Caithness, on a pleasent looking farm, Alexander Hunter (now in normal everyday farmhand attire) walks into the dining room of a farmhouse where his long time friend from school Kyle Macleod sits, he has medium length black hair and blue eyes, he also looks like he hasn't slept in a while due to bags under his eyes, the two exchange a "Hey" as they go over a custom made case file made by Alexander: "These werewolves, they're gonna run everyone out of business if we don't do something about them..." says Alexander before the two begin to discuss what happened the night before - Alexander states how he believes he killed one of the creatures but is unsure since it was too dark to tell as the other clan members were quick to follow, Kyle then asks him how he got away without being eaten and Alexander replies that he just ran stating: "These legs have ran from many things before...plus the clue is in my last name" as he pats his chest with pride to which Kyle just rolls his eyes.

Night falls on Caithness' many hills and lochs, Alexander and Kyle can be seen on Kyle's farm on a stake out and waiting for anything strange to happen - Alexander looks at Kyle: "Did you bring it?" he asks as the two hide behind many bales of straw, Kyle nods and produces a crossbow to which Alexander reacts with wide eyes "How did you get that?" he seems to be in a state of shock and awe, Kyle responds that he was taught on how to use it by his father when he was younger out of pre-caution after a Werewolf attacked his family home back in the day. Alexander then takes the weapon and checks the bolts however Kyle snatches it back causing Alexander to say: "Alright Daryl Dixon, calm down" causing Kyle to role his eyes once again, the pair's bickering is soon halted suddenly as a girl can be seen wandering the farmyard with great interest, she seems to be on edge and is sniffing the air as she goes, she eventually comes across the pair and stops, she then stares at the pair with an angry expression, Kyle stands up and looks at her and says: "Excuse me miss, do you need something?" the girl snarls and bares her teeth and claws: "I'm going to rip your throat out and eat your heart!" Alexander steps in and tries to calm the girl down by saying: "Easy there, what's your name?" she growls and points at Kyle and says: "That one, he's mine, I want him dead!" however Kyle, using quick thinking, shoots a bolt from his crossbow into the ground before her feet causing her to fall over startled: "Be thankful, these bolts aren't made of silver" Kyle points out, only for Alexander to look at him as if to say "Why did you say that?" as the mention of the bolts not being made of silver gets the girls attention and she charges at the two out of confidence, the two hunters engage the Werewolf in a fierce fight and the girl becomes enraged as she begins to rip at the pair with her claws and teeth, however Kyle manages to block most of her attacks, he finds a rake where they were hiding and uses it to defend himself with limited success and Alexander grabs the crossbow and aims it at the girl and fires the bolt, however his inexperience shows as the bolt hits a rock and bounces off as the girl dodges it and the pair continue their fight. The pair manage to wound the girl with a hunting knife but she continues to fight with all her might and manages to get the upper hand until Alexander comes from behind and puts the werewolf in a choke hold however she is too strong for him causing him to fall over, Alexander picks up the crossbow and reloads it quickly as the girl turns to face him and snarls angrily, Alexander aims the crossbow at her head and fires the bolt into her skull, killing her as howls can once again be heard in the distance - "We should move" Alexander says as they move to leave Kyle's farm, checking on the sheep in the process - when arriving in the indoor sheep paddock, all seems normal, however they soon find a pile of fresh blood and the carcass of a dead sheep with bite marks, Alexander checks the area for tracks however he finds none however Kyle, noticably angry, finds a bloody note from Aurora (the leader/Alpha of the clan of Werewolves) which states "We walk in the shadows, and we feast in the night. We have no fear of you, and our numbers are growing."

Speaking of Aurora, she can be seen wandering onto farmland with two Werewolves in tow - she takes a deep breath and examines the area, noticing that the land is covered in the scent of her clan which she calls "Shadow Clan" she comments on how feeding on livestock is not ideal as she would much rather eat a human heart however one of her clan members speaks up: "Do we not have morals anymore? you said humans are off the menu from Day 1, we hunt livestock to keep the hunters off our backs" this causes Aurora to shake her head: "Have you noticed they're killing us anyway? our clan numbers have decreased in the last two months alone" Aurora then makes her way into a nearby barn where she finds a bowl of blood sitting on the floor, it was seemingly left there by other clan members as the farm itself seems ransacked, she picks it up and takes a swig before handing it to one of her clan members who gulps down the contents greedily, she then grabs a knife and tells her clan members to follow her as lights come on inside the nearby farmhouse, suggesting their activities haven't gone unnoticed - in the house, an elderley farmer can be seen watching over the clan's activities, he seems concerned by the presence of the mysterious people as he wonders aloud how they managed to get onto his property - his wife looks at him with concern and asks "What do we do?" - he replies: "Keep watch over them, if they cause any trouble let me know" however trouble soon comes to them as Aurora and her clan members burst through the door of the farmhouse: "You were watching us" she says pointing a knife at the farmer and his wife - Aurora then steps forward and stabs the old man in the stomach before dragging his body outside, the clan members then grabs his wife by the throat, they look at each other seemingly trying to keep an urge to feast at bay however their instincts are too much for them and they rip into the wife's chest and eat her alive, she is torn apart piece by piece - when the slaughter is done, the clan members join Aurora outside, the farmer bleeding out from his stomach wound - the clan members explain to Aurora that they fed on the wife thus breaking their code of honour however Aurora takes the news well, after all, she only cares about food and no one is more hungry than her - "The world is changing" she says looking at the sky - "We will change with it" as her eyes once again change to that of a wolf as she devours the farmer's insides, the Werewolves then leave the farmhouse behind them.

The following day, a crime scene is set up at the farmhouse and Alexander and Kyle, using fake ID's, gain access to the site - they are surprised though when an officer states that another "Agent" has got their before them, they head into the farmhouse to find Shane looking at the wife's mangled body, Kyle seems shocked (but also unimpressed) at this revelation: "What the fuck are you doing here? This isn't your territory" Shane turns around and just smiles "Kyle...it's been a while" completeley ignoring the remark that Kyle just made, Shane then offers his hand out for a handshake and Kyle gives him one, Alexander says: "Who are you exactly?" allowing Shane to introduce himself in a very rambly way: "My name is Shane, I'm a hunter...sort of...I'm kinda new to it...I got wind of your case through the Hunter network and came to help you with it, I didn't know I was gonna meet Kyle though...we've been online friends for the best part of a decade, never knew I would find you in this line of work Mr. Macleod" Alexander nods at this but seems slightly skeptical, Shane continues "Anyway, I'll get straight to the point, looks like these werewolves have moved onto more...interesting, I guess you could say...eating habits" he says referring to the crime scene, Alexander rebutles: "Werewolves are known to do this sort of thing, this isn't anything new, I once worked a case a few dozen miles from here where a young girl was killed by a werewolf, her heart was torn out of her chest and eaten, but this is different...it's like they we're trying to restrain themselves from eating..." Kyle goes along with this pointing out the various blood splatters around the room: "They're very messy eaters but I agree, Werewolves don't usually play with their food as it were" Shane agrees: "I've heard of this sort of thing happening before, there's a lot of supernatural creatures out there that will take the time to hunt down their prey and eat them in many grizzly ways, but I've never seen it myself before...until now" Alexander asks if Shane knows anything about a group called "Shadow Clan" as the three hunters continue to investigate, the name causes Shane's ears to perk up: "I'm aware of Shadow Clan, back in the Torchwood days - a guy called Neptune would call them in to deal with the cases we couldn't handle on our own...they even tried to hunt me once before when I attended college about...5 years ago-ish" Alexander doesn't appear convinced at this: "No offence mate but why didn't you bring that up at the start? That could be useful information, at least for me and Kyle" Shane shrugs at this stating "Well, I did only just get here" the trio then continue their investigation finding many more blood stains as well as signs of a struggle when they investigate outside, collecting evidence as they go as the signs of the Werewolf remain prominent around the property.

The three hunters return to Kyle's family home where Kyle admits: "Can't say I've had anyone visit my house before, it's a safe space for me and my family, it's where we start and end our working days on the farm, luckily my parents are currently in Thurso so I don't have to explain anything" Kyle leads Alexander and Shane to the living room where they sprawl out the evidence, lorebook and case files on the coffee table, Alexander asks for Kyle and Shane's thoughts on the case which allows Kyle to explain his thoughts out loud as he opens the lorebook to a pencil drawn picture of a Werewolf and points at it: "Lycanthrope. Farmers hate the small orange canine in foxes so knowing a werewolf is walking about at night in a full moon and knowing it could be a neighbour. More reasons for farmers to shoot the neighbouring farmer. Then again can't say I blame them." Shane, with his hand on his chin, nods at this thought: "Wonder if that's why Aurora and company don't attack directly, unless the temptation for humans gets too much as we have seen, more paranoia amongst the farming community out here thus they can cover their tracks by having the locals turn on each other, which would make sense with how the sightings are spread out." Shane says as he points to a map of the expansive county as Alexander marks off all the sightings with a blue marker pen, Kyle then adds, somewhat debunking Shane's theory of the farmers turning on each other: "Farmers don't tend to care about competition that much. Selfish yes but a jealous bunch. Jealous if their "competition" makes a bigger profit out of it." Shane responds with a slight head tilt: "But don't you lot get pretty mad when someone walks onto your land? even if it is an 7 foot tall wolf creature with a taste for flesh...or a human with claws and teeth in this case..." Kyle responds with a sense of farmer's pride: "We get mad if there's no permission and if they disturb our livestock or crops. That's when we get pissed. A werewolf though I imagine farmers would try and capture and kill the canine. Give them great satisfaction pity about the consequences for failure though." Shane nods: "We've seen them first hand today...poor couple never stood a chance" he says with empathy in his voice looking out at the beautiful Scottish afternoon sun.

Alexander soon brings over some photos from a different crime scene, "They seem to have had a big night last night, we have another victim...just down the road from here." Alexander brings over some recent crime scene photos, it makes for gruesome viewing with a man's heart having been pulled out of his chest, Shane sees this and looks like he genuinely might puke however Kyle jests: "That's taking what was the easiest way to reach a man's heart? Through his chest joke seriously." he is met with an awkward silence until Shane jumps back into the conversation: "Jesus christ, Is it all werewolves up in this part of the world? After all you two seem to know what you are talking about" this causes Kyle to nod: "You'd be surprised how often we deal with werewolves. Unlike you city boys down south, Agriculture still lives up here. Where there's livestock and food you can usually find werewolves." Kyle's city comment seem to slightly annoy Shane: "I will say there are things in that city I call home that would question your existence Mr. Macleod" this round of talking is brought to a halt by Alexander, who has prepared everything for the night ahead, "Remember boys, Decapitation or anything that's Silver are the only things that can harm these juggernauts of the monster world...let's go before you two rip each other to shreads, no pun intended." Alexander says with authority as the three head out to the new crime scene in smart suits and fake ID's along with hunting equipment secretly stashed in their inner jacket pockets.

They soon arrive, under the guidance of a full moon at the newest crime scene and after a while of investigating, the three hunters (posing as detectives - which is normal hunter case work for some) are in the main farmyard where the attack happened, farm equipment is everywhere including some tools that were used for self defense, Kyle finds a bloodied pickaxe nearby: "They went for the pickaxe it seems. Their weapon of choice for defence." Shane wanders over to Kyle's finding and is in a state of surprise when he says: "Well whatever it is, it doesn't seem very usable anymore...almost bit clean in half by the looks of it" as this is happening, Alexander can be seen off in the distance snapping photos for his own personal case file, he shouts over: "He could have taken many other things though that are lighter. Hammer, shovel, lots of things here they could have taken instead." Kyle responds to his friend with reason: "Well when you're in a panic like he was you won't think straight and probably grab the closest and deadliest thing you can get air go pickaxe." Thus theorizing that the attack wasn't planned out and was merely another chance for the clan to eat another human heart.

They then go over to the body of the victim, he has been gutted open and the heart pulled out. The trio stand there in silence looking at the body until Alexander finally speaks up: "I don't like this, we've had a lot of attacks in a short space of time and they're getting closer to civilization. If it was just one or two werewolves, we could pass it off as an isolated incident...but three...maybe more? Something is happening with that clan and I can feel it. This is my third werewolf attack in the last few days, what are you telling me, this isn't normal?" Alexander is now seemingly doubting himself as Kyle is quick to respond: "Well Alexander, what do you want us to do? We have to go on with our lives just like everyone else, but there's a difference between sitting around on our arses and doing what needs to be done." As the three mull over their options, they hear a howl coming from an unknown location - Shane gulps: "Please tell me that was a bird scarer..." as Alexander replies: "That was a wolf." Shane just stares at Alexander for a few seconds as if to say "Not helping" as Kyle recommends trying to mask their scents as the Werewolf will be attracted to them if it's hungry, this causes Alexander to throw his suit jacket into a nearby group of bushes as Kyle and Shane remove their ties and suit jackets, as Shane removes his he reveals that he was keeping a machete inside his suit jacket, he says in a panic: "I used this on my first vampire hunt" - Kyle decides to split off from the pair and goes to sit inside the farmhouse: "Remember that note Alex? It's me she allegedly wants so I'm gonna go make myself feel at home" he says as he walks over to the house, just as Kyle leaves Alexander's suit jacket somehow comes flying back to both him and Shane from another direction entirely as a man in scruffy clothing comes walking into the farmyard - he locks the eyes with Alexander and Shane and walks over - "I'm not here to fight but to negotiate" the man says, knowing full well that the man maybe a werewolf, Shane Is very hesitant to drop the machete so Alexander takes it off him and puts it on the floor.

The man explains his situation: "I have been sent to discuss my clan's recent actions around the area...you do know we aren't cold blooded murderers, what we do is for survival" this is disputed by Alexander who almost interrupts the man: "Survival, I get it but you do know most of your targets had families right?" the man lowers his head in sympathy "My boss says that condolences are past down but in our defense, we are lucky to get 1 or 2 hearts a year, we have to live on livestock and for us, that's not enough...the urge for something more is too strong...it's like if you had to live without water, we do what we do to survive or AND YET, you hunters hunt us down like a shooter hunts down a pheasant" Shane speaks up after panicking a short time ago: "Where is your boss?" The man smirks, this can be seen from the house Kyle is in, as Aurora can be seen bursting through the door to confront Kyle, all her wolf features on full display - "Mr. Macleod...I have heard alot about you" she growls intensely as Kyle can be seen eating an apple on the sofa - Meanwhile, outside Shane and Alexander begin fighting the other Werewolf in what is a visibly chaotic showdown.

As the fight rumbles on, Aurora confronts Kyle: "I have heard rumblings of what you have done to my clan, my family as it were" this causes Kyle to take his feet off the table and stand up with the apple still in hand as Aurora looks right into his eyes as he stands up, Kyle looks at her: "You're one tall bitch. I can call you that since you're a canine." Aurora calls his wit "Unimpressive" she then attempts to guilt trip by hiding her wolf features "I bet if I looked like this you wouldn't think of slaughtering me in cold blood...after all, that's what you hunters do to us isn't it?" Kyle seems to almost be effected by this but lets it slide as he uses what he believes is common sense in his response: "You can call it a slaughter. You slaughter livestock and you've slaughtered people. You're no different from foxes the only difference is you can kill people. Foxes are killed by amateur hunters but listen I'm not one of those fox hunters. I've killed in cold blood sure but that's just part of the job" He says to Aurora as he paces round her, looking at her closely - Aurora's human eyes look into his "How many? How many...not just werewolves but what you deem monsters have you killed?" she asks as she holds her head as her wolf side begs to be let loose on the hunter as the scent of fresh blood takes over her, Kyle responds to this as well by saying: ""I've made mistakes sure. I can't tell you how many of your family I killed. Nor can I tell how many monsters I've killed...but do I regret what I've done though? No because I don't regret a damn thing." This causes Aurora to lunge at Kyle as the two tumble over the nearby sofa that Kyle was once sitting on.

The two engage in a struggle, Kyle notices a toolbox nearby where they are fighting and attempts to take a screwdriver from it as Aurora uses her overbearing strength to overpower him. The two continue to fight for their lives, the room filled with the sound of growling and snarling - Kyle is soon able to grab the screwdriver and stabs her in the hand in order pin her to the floor, he then runs upstairs and barricades himself in a bedroom as Aurora tries to free herself from the grip of the screwdriver in her hand. She begins to growl in frustration as she begins to claw at the screwdriver in her hand, eventually managing to break free of it and ripping the screwdriver out of her hand which makes for graphic viewing.

Meanwhile, back outside, Shane and Alexander continue to try and neutralize the male Werewolf, it is proving to be a challenge though as the creature continues to show no signs of weakness, the fight is chaotic and fast paced, the combatants going back and forth in an attempt to gain the upper hand. Alexander has the advantage as he pulls out his pistol from before however the Werewolf kicks it away from him and manages to wrestle it away from him, Shane tries to help but the Werewolf throws him off sending him flying across the farmyard - Now face-to-face, Alexander takes out a machete from the bag of equipment and he and the male Werewolf start fighting in close quarter combat, Alexander quickly gets the upper hand and manages to cut into the Werewolf's neck. However, the Werewolf manages to knock Alexander to the ground and he lands hard on his back - Alexander gets up and gets ready to finish the creature off, however the Werewolf (with the machete jammed in its neck) starts to growl at Alexander before lunging at him with its claws outstretched, Shane recovers just in time to grab the pistol and, although at first hesitant to use it (as he has never wanted or even thought of using a gun) opens fire at the lunging Werewolf, silver bullets fly through the air at awesome speed and strike the Werewolf in the chest, knocking it off course of its lunge and to the ground - the pair regain their breath as Alexander thanks Shane for saving his life.

The two look at each other as they stand side by side, Shane then notices Kyle comically waving at them from an upstairs window, Alexander and Shane seem confused as they look through one of the farmhouse windows to see Aurora running up the stairs with great speed and agility, bloodlust in her wolf-esque eyes, this prompts the pair to run into the farmhouse after her as Kyle's crossbow is found in the bag of equipment and not on his person.

In the farmhouse, Aurora approaches the room that Kyle is in: "I can smell you" she says in an attempt to be creepy. "I know you're here" she continues "so come out and face me." Kyle remains in the barricaded room: "You can come to me" he replies to her. "But I won't go to you" she says in response.

The two continue to talk back and forth, with Aurora getting more and more angry with each passing second, "Come on..." she says scratching at the door with intent however Kyle opts to calm her instead from the other side of the barricaded door: "I know it's difficult for you to live on animal carcasses, you pure bloods can only just survive on it..." he is interrupted by Aurora who bangs on the door: "DON'T LECTURE ME KYLE MACLEOD" she screams at him "YOU KNOW NOTHING OF WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ME!" she yells back at him, as she begins to get angrier and angrier before ramming at the door with her own body weight in an attempt to break the door down, Kyle tries to calm her down from the other side of the door: "Please don't do this Aurora..." he says, Aurora rams at the door again with her head butts, throwing herself against the door in a frenzy of anger, the door breaks down and Aurora smashes the makeshift barricade comprising of a chest of drawers - she snarls at Kyle however a loud "HEY" is heard behind her, Aurora turns around to see Alexander and Shane standing there, she is now staring down the barrel of Alexander's pistol - "Why do you want Kyle?" Shane asks her, Aurora looks at him, unsure what to say "I'm hungry..." she replies, Shane takes his time to reply: "I can't let you kill him" he tells her. "What if I want to kill him?" Aurora asks him back, Alexander interrupts: "Can't have that" - this causes Aurora to shrug and turn to face Kyle, who proceeds to jump out the upstairs window in order to escape the Werewolf, glass shatters everywhere - Aurora screams unnaturally as she returns to face Alexander and Shane, "Fine...I'll tell you what I want with Kyle, his farm is on our radar and has been for a while now, the numbers of my clan have been fleeting for ages, we need to reach Thurso..." Alexander snaps at this: "So you can turn them?" Shane says under his breath that it reminds him of his first vampire case as Aurora answers: "We have no choice, the ranks of my clan...my family...are thinning out, we need new blood" Alexander shrugs once again: "Again, can't have that" - Aurora nods acceptingly: "Fine...you we're dead the moment you stepped in this room anyway" she then begins to lash out at the two hunters and a struggle ensues.

Outside, Kyle is recovering from his jump from the upstairs window and runs over to the bag of hunting equipment, he finds his crossbow and heads to a vantage point as the fight continues inside, Shane attempts to restrain Aurora but is unsuccessful, Alexander then tries to fire his gun however it is revealed that there is no ammo left in it and he gets punched several times by Aurora, the leader of Shadow Clan gloats: "I have to say lads, it's been a pleasure, it truly has...but you know what? I think it's time for me to feed..." a set of fangs emerge from Aurora's mouth, Alexander tries to use his hands to stop her however, before she can bite, Kyle fires a crossbow bolt from outside, it flies through the window of the bedroom and hits Aurora in the chest like a bullseye, the leader of Shadow Clan is hit with such force that she crashes into a wall behind her, Shane and Alexander look at each other as Aurora, barely alive, continues to be defiant towards the hunters, she says weakily: "The shadows...will consume you...all three...of you" hearing enough, Alexander tells Shane to look away as he grabs a machete from inside his jacket and aims it at Aurora's head, "Do....it....there are way more....wolves....like us" Aurora says cockily before Alexander decapitates her with the machete.

Kyle heads back to the bag of hunting equipment and is soon joined by Alexander and Shane, who brings down the body of the fallen leader of Shadow Clan - "I guess we did it" Kyle says looking at the body "Another successful case" Shane says sombrely as the three of them leave the farmhouse and burning the body of Aurora on a wood pile in a field near Kyle's farm, the three men stand around the fire, Shane is visibly shaken by the events that just took place, he then begins to ask Alexander and Kyle if they can go to town - "I don't think I could handle another one of those things right now" Shane says referring to Werewolves, his inexperience shining through once again, Alexander tells him to "Give it a rest, there's alot more where that came from" he also says that he is sure that he will get used to it, Kyle adds: "We are all in this together, whether we like it or not and they're many people like us around the world...doing what others can't do" the three head back to Kyle's house to get some rest as an owl makes a racket from an anonymous location, in the middle of the night.
Shortly after they leave, several Shadow Clan members find the wood pile and howl at the full moon as a mark of respect for their fallen leader, the howling is heard by Kyle who can be seen looking up at the sky as he hears the distant howling, he looks down at a photo of a brunette woman called Maria: "I'll see you soon, duty calls" he says to the photo before heading back inside.
