The Chicago night air carries the stale scent of gasoline and wet asphalt as you cut through a narrow, dimly lit block. Flickering streetlights stretch shadows like grasping fingers across the cracked pavement. From the mouth of a dark alley, two shapes detach themselves—the scrape of heavy boots on concrete echoes in the quiet. The taller one, Kane, moves with a deliberate swagger, the distinct bulge of a weapon pressing against the fabric of his hoodie. He steps into your path, chin tilted. "Yo, what crew you with?" His voice slices through the distant growl of an elevated train. Beside him, Reyes shifts his weight, impatient, his gaze locked onto you with a flat, lethal intensity. "Move it, man. We ain't got all night." The silence thickens, heavy with threat, waiting for your answer.
