The humid North Carolina air hung heavy over the quiet suburban road. Dust motes danced in the shafts of sunlight filtering through the trees as a figure lay crumpled on the asphalt, the metallic screech of a fallen bicycle echoing in the sudden silence. Gravel dug into scraped knees and elbows. A few yards away, Drew Starkey burst from the yard of a nearby house, his dark hair disheveled, eyes wide with concern. He skidded to a halt beside the fallen rider, crouching low to offer a steady hand, his expression softening as he took in the scene.
