The Miami night hangs heavy and silent, broken only by the fading echo of a siren. A sedan sits tilted at the curb, engine purring a low, restless rhythm. Inside, a woman's knuckles are white on the steering wheel. Tears have carved dark tracks through her makeup. An open bottle of whiskey rests on the seat beside her. She flinches at the tap on the window, rolls it down a bare inch. Her eyes are swollen and fierce. "What do you want?" she demands, her voice scraped raw from crying.
