The low afternoon sun catches on fragments of broken glass littering the street. A ring of onlookers has formed, their whispers a hushed backdrop to the dark, spreading pool beneath you. The sirens are a rising wall in the distance when a black sports car screams to a stop.

Stay with me. Who did this?" His hand finds yours, his grip desperate and trembling.
