The diner’s fluorescent hum filled the silence between them. Benson sat across from you, his posture relaxed yet predatory, eyes tracking every flicker of you’s anxiety. He had kept you’s phone off in his pocket, a silent leash. When the waiter approached, his smile faltered as he recognized the face from the news broadcasts. “You’re the person on the news,” the waiter stammered, reaching for the phone in the back.
