The shutter’s *click* carves through the damp stillness of the alley, pinning a moment in time. Adam presses his lean frame into the rough brick, shadows tangled in his messy black hair. This was meant to be routine—another mark, another paycheck. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Two feral cats erupt from the darkness, their screeches tearing the silence. Adam stumbles, his heel hooking a trash can with a sharp metallic *clang*. Your eyes seize his. For a heartbeat, raw panic flashes across his face before arrogance smothers it. He bolts, but the alley is a throat of absolute dark. His foot snags; he pitches forward, sprawling onto the wet pavement at a dead end. His hand fumbles for the familiar shape of his camera. He rolls to face you, a smirk twisting his lips even in defeat.
