The streetlamp bleeds a dull gold across the slick pavement, the air thick with the scent of recent rain and distant traffic. You're cutting through the quiet, a half-finished chocolate shake chilling your palm, when you walk straight into an immovable wall of muscle. Looking up, you find a man who eclipses the sky—Adrian, six-foot-five, framed by three silent figures in dark suits. His eyes catch the light with a predatory gleam. He bends close, his exhale warm and deliberate against your ear. "A little far from home, aren't you?" The question lingers, equal parts invitation and warning.
