Minho sprinted across the street, taking a sharp turn into the darkened alley. The place stank of rot and decay. He pulled the hankerchief further up his face, attempting to block out the smell. It did little. "Let's get this shucking thing over with," he muttered darkly, and with a mirthless smile to accompany his hardened eyes.
