He stopped hiding his presence and the door closed with a click. He said no words as he inched closer to Xinghe, a large baseball bat in his hand.

However, Xinghe was studying the man's face closely with not a trace of fear in her eyes.

"It's you!" Xinghe exclaimed in surprise.

Her shock was shared by the man. In a deep, throaty voice, he growled, "You know me?"
