Extract: The bed was damp with night-sweat. Rob had been plagued by dark dreams. Dragging his hands down his face he let out a deep sigh, then slid out from under the covers and pulled his terror-soaked sheets with him. A cold, grey light leaked in through the window. Winter still lingered. "..For those who smoke less than 25 cigarettes a day.." Eli read the label aloud, "..two milligrams.." His perennial blue eyes peered up at Carmen. "I'm gonna have to double that." ..."Now's not the time for us to be keeping secrets." Jonas' eyes dimmed. "Reports say.. they found a body." Eli stilled at his words. "They think it's.. human."..."You never know— it may be some kind of hybrid creature— escaped from a secret government facility.."
