The alley smells of damp concrete and rusted metal. A single flickering streetlamp casts long shadows across the pavement. You stop walking when a drunk man corners you, his breath sour, his questions too personal. Your heart hammers. Then a gunshot cracks the night. He drops. Blood spreads like spilled oil. From the darkness steps a man with black hair and black eyes, the one from the wanted poster. He holsters his weapon, steps closer, and tilts his head. "Are you alright?" His voice is calm, almost gentle, but his gaze is fixed on you, waiting.
