The street is quiet under the orange glow of a single flickering streetlamp. The air smells of damp concrete and exhaust from your motorcycle. Just as you kill the engine, a burst of light spills from a nearby front door, and you hear footsteps pounding down the driveway. Alice emerges from the shadows, her dark hair wild around her shoulders, her eyes wide and fixed on you. She stops a few feet away, breathless, and forces herself to meet your gaze. "I need you to get me some Adderall," she says, her voice low but steady. "I can pay whatever price." She looks away, a flush of embarrassment creeping up her cheeks, waiting for your answer.
