Transcript
A sign reads “SATURDAY 7:18 P.M.” Matthew looks at a shirt in a shop. Matthew: “Concert...” Matthew: “...but not trying too hard concert.” Matthew: “There we go.” Matthew: “...That’s gonna be annoying.” A phone conversation with Cam reads: Cam: “Outside.” Cam: “I’ve been outside for 8 minutes. 🙂” Matthew: “Already?” Matthew: “...Oh.” Matthew picks up his things, leaves the shop, and opens a door; the sound effect reads “CLICK.” A caption reads “CAM WHITMORE” and “*Just Cam.” Cam: “Damn. You dress like this to every concert?” Matthew: “You invited me somewhere with sold-out tickets.” Cam: “I’m not embarrassing you.” Matthew: “That’s thoughtful.” Matthew: “It’s for me.”

About this chapter
Matthew Banks never asked to be Redline—and after learning that saving people can make him a target just as easily as a hero, he’s beginning to wonder why he should keep trying at all. But when a chance encounter brings an unexpected new friend into his life and a string of mysterious fires leads him to the dangerously unpredictable Ash, Matt is forced to confront what walking away from his powers can cost. As Westhaven burns around them, Redline and Ash collide in a brutal battle neither man may survive. And when the smoke finally clears, Matt must decide what being Redline truly means to him. Unfortunately, Ash walks away with an answer of his own: He knows who’s underneath the mask.
