Tip from an editor: start with something concrete to draw in the reader. You've opened with something abstract here.

Taran reached inside his pocket and drew out the note that had been slipped beneath the door of his leaky room that morning, rereading the words:

Verness Hospital. Afternoon. Follow the girl in the red scarf. Yours, Volasi

What am I getting into? He thought. Nothing good. Because that was just like him, wasn’t it? Act now, think later.
