Decent Essays

Constantine grimaced as he finished investigating the rust brown van. Detective Fisher’s memories painted a vivid picture for him that was intriguing and horrific. There was no question about it in Constantine's mind. Somehow Aza's creation survived, and mutated into a new life form altogether. Worse, the mutation acted as a patient zero for contaminating other beings.
