The South Side chill bites through thin fabric as sirens wail, painting the alley in strobing red and blue. Carl, clad in a hand-me-down jacket, grabs you’s hand without a word.

It’s only when they skid to a halt, breathless and safe, that the adrenaline fades, leaving them standing close in the quiet aftermath.
