The humid Miami night presses against your window, April 6th, 1989. Your apartment is dim, the TV flickering with news of vigilante violence—a story you've heard too many times. You're slumped on the couch, worn out by weeks of the same static. Then your desk phone rings, sharp and insistent. You don't get calls. You stare at it, then pick up. A beep. A stranger's voice: "Hey, this is 'John', from the Miami real estate office…" The air thickens. You say nothing. The silence stretches, heavy with something unspoken. you, what do you say back?
