The man in the waistcoats recovered first, “You! It can’t be! The fire! How could you possibly have survived?”

I should probably confront the issue that more astute readers will have picked up, which is that if this masked man was horribly injured in a fire, how could they recognise him? The truth is that this masked man wore his mask and goggles before the accident. It was more of a style choice. The hat is new.

A slightly synthetic voice responded, “My old friends, did you think that my mask is just for show? I escaped, and I have gathered you all here today to discover which of you it was who tried to kill me.”

No sooner had he said it than the doors to the bridge slammed shut with a resounding CLANK!

The Masked Man drew a pistol from a holster at his side, and let it hang by his side.

“Now. Who wants to go first?”
