Snowflakes swirled all around, and the wind howled.

Jace found himself stranded, forced to walk alone through the vast, snowy expanse.

His thoughts drifted to Bella, trapped in danger, her fate uncertain. Then to Justin, bleeding heavily with a bullet in his shoulder yet resolute in his pursuit to find her.

Jace's calloused hand trembled as he pressed it against his chest, his heart pounding for reasons he could not quite explain.

"Ugh-!"

Without warning, a scaring pain throbbed in his head. As darkness clouded his vision, his legs buckled, and he tumbled into the snow.

The pain was agonizing, piercing deep into his mind and chest. His eyes bulged as if they would pop out of his head. He struggled to breathe, his shaking hand reaching for the chain around his neck where he had hidden the medication that the Boss had given him.

These pills were supposed to bring him peace, ease his suffering, and save his life. But his fingers fumbled, and the pill tumbled into the snow, vanishing in an instant.

A buzzing noise filled his head as his trembling hands desperately scoured the snow, consumed by a panic unlike any he had felt before.

The agonizing pain only grew worse.

In a desperate move, Jace tore off his shirt and buried his scarred body into the freezing snow, seeking relief from the biting cold.
