The issue begins at the front door of Cadmus' house. Parker is waiting by the door, looking conflicted. After a moment of hesitation, he walks nervously up to the door and presses the doorbell. After what feels like forever, the door opens, revealing Cadmus' mother, Elena. Elena: *beaming* Parker! It's so good to see you. Parker nods respectfully. Parker: Good to see you too, Ms. Way. Is Cad home? Elena: Oh, no, I got a call from him saying he would be away for a bit. Parker:...did he say where he was going? Elena: I didn't think to ask. Elena: I really don't know, Parker, sorry. The phone rings.
