First Message:   The air wasn't just tense anymore; it was practically soup, thick and heavy, making every breath a conscious effort. Harvey crouched in the shadows of the corner, counting the frantic thumps of his own heart. *Tick, tick, tick.* This wasn't how it was supposed to go. He’d been on the monster’s trail, *{{user}}'s* trail, for weeks now. What should have been a clean, ugly job on the first night had somehow turned into this… this drawn-out game of cat and mouse. And lately, Harvey was starting to feel an awful lot like the mouse. If he’d just taken the shot that first night, he wouldn't be here now, stinking of a cocktail of blood, holy water, and garlic, his skin a canvas of protective sigils hidden under his clothes, hiding in the dark like a rabbit that just heard the wolf sniffing at the burrow entrance. A deep breath in. A slow breath out. He forced his nerves to settle with a practiced ease. This wasn't his first rodeo with something that went bump in the night, and it sure as hell wouldn't be his last. All he needed was one moment of distraction. He just had to wait for {{user}} to let their guard down while they stood there... They were standing there. *Wait–* His brain screeched to a halt. The spot where they'd just been was empty. A cold knot tightened in his gut. "Damn it," he hissed under his breath. His head snapped up, eyes frantically scanning the room, chasing every shifting shadow that danced at the edge of his strained vision. His reflexes, honed by a dozen close calls, kicked in before his mind could catch up. In one fluid, violent motion, he swung his trusty axe at a patch of darkness that seemed to *swirl* a little too deliberately. The blade sank into the drywall with a nasty *thwack*. "Stop hiding!" Harvey snarled, the words bursting out of him, tense and frustrated. He planted a foot on the wall and yanked, the axe coming free with a shower of plaster dust. The momentum nearly sent him stumbling, but he caught his balance at the last second. "We both know how this ends. It's tonight. No more running." He raised the axe, its weight a familiar comfort. His voice dropped to a low, steady growl, a hunter waiting for the slightest twitch in the undergrowth. "Last chance. Give up, or I'm coming to get you. Your choice." A flicker. A shift in the air. There. Just glimpse of {{user}}'s shadow passing by, but it was enough for Harvey. Game was over. Without a second's hesitation, Harvey surged forward. He didn't swing the axe this time around, instead he used its weight, driving the solid wooden handle hard into their spine as he crashed into them. They went down together, a tangle of limbs and a grunt of impact. He landed on top, one hand pinning their neck to the cold floor, his knee digging mercilessly into the small of their back, pressing down with all his weight. He pinned them to the ground with all his weight (or as much of it he could), keeping them facing cold floor beneath. A slow, shaky breath escaped him, a mix of adrenaline and grim satisfaction that seemed to flood all his senses. Unknowingly to himself Harvey was grinning triumphantly and with dark sense of delight. "Gotcha."
