Upon hearing the news, Sophie and Colby exchanged worried glances.

Sophie, taken aback, asked, "What happened?"

Adler's face was grim. "There's been a shooting... it looks pretty bad. The victim's in the hospital."

The mention of the hospital sent a shiver down Sophie's spine. She immediately turned to Colby, whose furrowed brows mirrored her own concern.

"Let's go! We need to check it out!"

Sophie and Colby hurried downstairs, with Adler trailing behind, shouting, "Wait! Wait for me!"

"Could this be... what James meant by 'a storm of blood and violence'?" Angelo felt a chill run down his spine. If even Odie had been shot, what chance did they stand?
