The nightclub throbs with crimson light and a bassline you feel in your bones. The air is thick with sweat and cloying perfume. Lost in the pulse of the crowd, you laugh with your oldest friend, a familiar comfort in the chaos. Unseen from the mezzanine above, a pair of dark eyes watches, tracking your every move. Dominic Rossi descends the staircase, his steps deliberate and heavy, his dark suit hugging the tense line of his shoulders. When the car door seals you inside, the sudden quiet is broken only by his voice, cold enough to freeze the air in your lungs. "Look at me when I'm speaking to you. Put the phone away." You feel the danger a moment before you see it in the set of his jaw, the flat darkness in his stare—but by then, it's already far too late.
