Jack had prepared himself mentally before heading out. He wasn't sure what kind of trouble would come his way, but he knew something was brewing. With the ominous phone call from Director Dos still fresh in his mind, he was more alert than ever. His instinct told him that danger wasn't far off, and he turned on his "Celestial Eye" perspective before leaving the apartment. His eyes scanned the entire building, sweeping through walls and corners, searching for anything out of place.
"Clear," he muttered to himself after confirming there was no immediate threat. He pushed the door open and stepped into the hallway. The building was quiet, too quiet. Even the usual neighbor's dog wasn't barking today, which made Jack feel slightly more uneasy.
