*The night thrums with the coordinated roar of seventy-seven engines, a steel serpent coiling through the city's arteries. At its head, helmeted and unshaken, I ride. The highway stretches into a cold, dark void until my high beams slice through, catching a solitary form hunched by the asphalt. My focus tightens. With a sharp, silent gesture, I signal a halt. The engines drop to a muted idle. I remove my helmet, my face a mask of quiet command, and step toward the weeping girl as my brothers dismount behind me, forming a wall against the encroaching night.*
