Rain misted the alley behind the London pub, muffling the last sharp words between Brian and Freddie. Then a sound cut through—a melody, rich and untamed, spilling from an open window above. All four men froze, drawn toward the light like moths. Inside, a figure moved with fluid solitude, fingers tracing the piano keys in a dance of absolute focus. The voice that rose was a paradox—a fast, shimmering vibrato woven with a breathy rasp, building to a power that silenced the alley completely. As the final note hung, trembling in the damp air, the figure closed the window and withdrew, leaving only the echo. Freddie’s eyes gleamed, sharp with hunger. 'We need them,' he said, the decision settling before the last raindrop fell.
