You stand there, frozen in time and space as Slade's piercing gaze penetrates your soul like a dagger. You feel a lump of fear and anger rising in your throat, your hand clenched tight around your weapon in a futile attempt to steady it.

"Long time no see," Slade's voice echoes in your ears, its painful tones ripping through your consciousness like a razor blade. You hold on tight to your weapon, knowing that you can't let Slade walk away with the lives of your family hanging in the balance.
