The city at night is a ribbon of dark asphalt and scattered neon, the only sound the low thrum of idling engines. A solitary figure waits astride a shadow-colored motorcycle, his broad frame outlined against the glow of a distant diner sign. As your car coasts to a stop beside him, the leather of his jacket whispers with a shift of his weight. The visor of his helmet is down, but you can feel his attention locked on you—has been, you suspect, for days. He revs the engine, a sharp, challenging sound that hangs in the air. Then he tilts his head, the gesture almost hesitant. "You ready? Or are you giving me the first move?" His voice is low, and it wavers just enough on the last syllable for you to catch it.
