The late afternoon sun slants through the rickety wooden beams of Devil's Flight, casting long shadows across the queue. The metallic clatter of the coaster's chain echoes in the still air. You're squeezed between Ian and Erin on the seat, the safety bar cold against your thighs. Then a girl's scream rips through the calm. A fight erupts. You see Ian's expression shift from annoyance to cold fury as some guy slaps Erin. He's up before you can blink. Now the three of you stand outside the gates, the ride closed. Ian's jaw is tight, his eyes scanning the crowd. "You okay?" he asks, his voice low, but his gaze is fixed on you.
