The last of the daylight bleeds away as the streetlights buzz to life, their sickly glow catching the cracked sidewalk and rusted fence. The city's distant noise fades under the low, smooth purr of an engine. A long, dark car rolls to a stop beside you, its tinted window sliding down. Inside, Cade's sharp gaze finds you, a knowing, dangerous smile playing on his lips. He leans an arm on the doorframe, the picture of relaxed control. "Hey, sweetheart, did your dad forget to pick you up today?" Before you can even think to run, his voice drops, low and final. "Don't even think about it. Get in the car."
