Ezra took a deep breath and held it.

Tat-tat-tat-tat!

"Find him!"

Voices rang out from beyond the building—soldiers scouring the streets in search of him.

Westmoor was a virus-free city.

Which meant there were no mutant monsters to worry about, leaving the Duke of Lancaster’s private army free to comb the streets without restraint. That, however, worked against Ezra.

"Tch. How the hell am I supposed to get out of this?"

He had managed to slip away from the Duke of Lancaster’s men, darting through the streets of Westmoor until he found refuge in a mansion. Now, he pressed his back against the wall, scanning the interior.

The address inscribed on the estate’s outer wall read: 10 Hague Street.

Before the world collapsed, this had been the home of the Duke of Lancaster’s earliest test subject.

1. Ethan Duncan Lancaster, the man with the virus-resistant antibodies

2. Aurora, the descendant of Segrave
