Jeff was leading his squad through the ruins of Rowan Lane. The men were all gasping in awe as they passed by the gigantic Rowan tree. The wind was blowing gently against them. They failed to notice the two shadowy figures that were standing on top of the tree, behind the swaying branches.

Jeff and his men had arrived at the small building which sat amidst the ruins. He waved at the squad and commanded them in a low voice, “Surround this place at once!”

Jeff tapped his gun lightly before putting both hands on his waist. He was perfectly poised and ready for the next part of his operation. All of a sudden, the ringing sound of a phone tore through the sky.
