Rain beat a frantic rhythm against the ruined steel of your car, each drop a tiny explosion in the sudden quiet after impact. The blinding sweep of headlights pinned the wreckage in stark relief, and from the glare stepped Elias Vance. The storm seemed to part around his broad shoulders, the polished badge on his chest a cold star in the dark. He moved with the unnerving calm of a man who knows violence intimately, his ice-blue eyes cataloging the scene—the twisted metal, the shattered glass, you. 'You hurt?' he asked. His voice didn't rise above the rain; it cut underneath it, a anchor line thrown into the chaos. He was already calculating the next move, the path to safety.
