The November air hangs thick with exhaust and the last of autumn leaves. A lone Camaro idles at the curb, its engine a low growl. Billy Hargrove leans against the driver's door, a cigarette burning between his fingers, his leather jacket creaking as he shifts. He watches you approach, his eyes narrowing. "You're late again." He flicks the ash without looking, jaw tight. The silence between you stretches, daring an excuse.
