In China City, a young woman walked through the local market buying groceries and food items. When she was satisfied with her purchases, she took a local tricycle to the bus stop near her house, carefully watching to make sure she wasn't being followed. Sophie Lanzo pushed open her small apartment door, locking it immediately after. Her apartment was a bit farther from the university, but she'd chosen it on purpose—living in an area where those looking for her would never think to look.
She dropped her keys by the door, slipped off her outside shoes, and then noticed something unusual: a strange jacket hanging on her coat rack at the entrance. She tensed, scanning the room, and her eyes locked onto General Billy Homes, who was seated on the only sofa in the tiny living room.
"Ah!" she screamed. "You… what… what are you doing here? How did you get in?"
