The sharp beep of the encrypted phone on Dylan Danger’s bedside table jolted him awake. The glow of the screen cast eerie shadows across his face as he glanced at the clock—3:07 a.m. Only a handful of people had access to this line, and none would call at this hour without reason. With a sigh, he picked up the phone.

“Talk to me,” Dylan rasped, his voice tinged with weariness.

“It’s Daniels. We’ve got a situation. I think you need to see this for yourself.”

Dylan’s instincts kicked in. “Send me the coordinates; I’ll be there in fifteen.”

True to his word, Dylan pulled his car into the dimly lit parking lot, next to Daniels’ unmarked police cruiser. The detective stepped out, her face a canvas of concern and confusion.

“This better be good, Daniels. I was having a rare dream where I wasn’t being chased or shot at.”

She handed him a small evidence bag containing a familiar object—a playing card, the Queen of Hearts, with a blood-red lipstick kiss pressed onto it. “This was found at a crime scene. Not just any crime scene—a murder. The victim is someone you knew from your special forces days.”

A chill slithered down Dylan’s spine. He looked up and locked eyes with Daniels. “A sleeper cell?”

“We don’t know for sure, but all signs point to a targeted hit. And this”—she gestured to the card—”is their way of sending a message.”

“Which is?”

“That you’re next.”

The air grew thick, each word heavy with implications that neither wanted to fully acknowledge. A dormant chapter from his past had just been violently ripped open, putting everything he held dear at immediate risk.

“Alright,” Dylan said, pocketing the evidence bag and turning back to his car. “Looks like retirement is officially over. Again.”

Daniels watched as he sped off into the night, the taillights dissolving into the darkness. She couldn’t shake the feeling that they were both stepping into an abyss from which there might be no return.

Dylan clenched the steering wheel, his knuckles white as he drove back to his apartment to prepare for the coming storm. A long-dormant sleeper cell had awakened, and they were gunning for him.

It was no longer just a matter of staying vigilant. Now, his life was in immediate danger.
