PAGE 1
Panel 1:Silas Thorne hunches against the driving rain, trench coat collar pulled high, fedora brim low.
Panel 2:A close-up on a faded, crudely spray-painted hieroglyphic symbol on a crumbling wall.
Panel 3:Silas's grim, shadowed face is visible under his fedora, his eyes narrowed, looking towards a dark, open doorway.
“Just like home.”
PAGE 2
Panel 1:Silas pushes open a heavy, creaking wooden door, revealing absolute darkness within a crumbling room.
Panel 2:His gloved hand brushes dust from a small, stone tablet embedded in a crumbling, ancient altar.
“There you are.”
Panel 3:A tall, indistinct shadow detaches from the wall behind Silas, holding something glinting faintly.
PAGE 3
Panel 1:Silas spins, dropping into a defensive crouch as a figure lunges from the shadows with a crude knife.
Panel 2:Silas blocks the knife with his forearm, his other hand gripping the attacker's wrist tightly.
“Not today, friend.”
Panel 3:Silas has the figure pinned against a grimy wall, their knife clattering harmlessly onto the floor.
PAGE 4
Panel 1:The Shadowy Figure, now visible as a gaunt man, looks terrified, pointing shakily into the deeper darkness.
“He… he watches.”
Panel 2:Silas examines the stone tablet, its hieroglyphs glowing faintly, a thoughtful expression on his face.
“We'll see about that.”
Panel 3:Silas walks back out into the acid rain, the tablet secure, disappearing into the neon-streaked Cairo night.
