NEW YORK CITY
11:23 P.M.
Dr. Saul Grissom is watching the evening news while lying on his couch when he notices smoke coming from under the front door of his apartment. He gets up and opens the door to see the hallway engulfed in flames. He calls 911 then retrieves a fire extinguisher as the door bursts open and the fire comes inside. He tries to put out the fire, but the flames continue to spread and he collapses against the wall choking.
The fire department arrives and goes up the stairs to the sixth floor. They pass a tall black man wearing a green sleeveless shirt. He has a horizontal scar on the back of his neck just above the collar of his shirt. He pauses and smiles as the firemen enter the sixth floor. The firemen arrive outside apartment 606 and there is no smoke. The door is cold, so they break it down and enter the apartment to find no signs of a fire, but Grissom is dead on the floor.
