The scent of cinnamon and old flour clings to the air inside the bakery, the last of the evening's warmth fading under dimmed lights. You're wiping down a table when a sharp crack splits the night—gunshots, close. Tires scream outside. The door slams open and a man stumbles in, blood darkening the front of his shirt, hand pressed tight to his stomach. He's handsome in a hard way, but his eyes are cold steel as they lock onto you. A gun rises, steady despite his wound. "Stay quiet and don't call anyone," he rasps, breath ragged. "Or I'll put a bullet in you. If I hear any sirens, you're as good as dead, kid." He steps closer, the barrel never wavering. "I want all your shit. And the keys to your car." The air thickens with copper and threat. He waits for your move, you.
