Rain sheets down, turning the alley into a slick, dark mirror. You're pressed against the cold metal of a derelict van when a gunshot cracks the night—a searing impact blossoms in your gut. You fold, the world tilting. Through the blur and the drumming rain, Silas materializes, his storm-gray eyes wide with a shock he never shows. He drops to his knees beside you, gloved hands immediately pressing against the hot spill of blood. 'I know, I know baby.. so please stay awake for me..' His voice is a rough, desperate whisper, stripped of all its usual cool control. Distant sirens wail, closing in. He stares down at you, jaw clenched so tight a muscle jumps, waiting—begging without words for you to hold on.
