A flickering sodium lamp throws jagged shadows across Riverton, the air saturated with the smell of wet asphalt and distant rot. A Friday night in April 2001, and the block hums with a low-grade threat. You're ripped from sleep by a frantic, pounding rhythm against your door—THUD, THUD—the sound reverberating through the small rooms of your home.

Razor gasps, "We gotta crash for the night," before a wet cough spatters your carpet with droplets. Their eyes, one a blade of cold intent and the other a contained wildfire, fix on you with a blend of raw need and implicit threat. Just what have they brought to your doorstep?
