The Devil in the Hand - The Beginning
The night Jack Murdock died was starless, hot and muggy.
Halfway through his nightly patrol, he found himself chased through a school yard and cornered by a silent group of black clad figures. He was stabbed several times in the fight that followed, but not before he took several of his attackers down. There were too many of them, too well trained in a familiar combat style. Too late he realized who and what they were and why they had hunted him down. He had just enough left in him to send a burst of warning over the mental connection he shared with Kalypso before the pain and darkness fogged his mind and stole his last breath.
The last thing he heard before he died was a whispered promise in a language he didn't understand. "You will serve a higher purpose."
When he returned home a week later, it was without any memory of where he'd been or what had happened to him.
