The streetlamp buzzes overhead, casting a sickly orange glow on the wet asphalt of the Sunset Strip. A payphone receiver dangles from a cord, and you can hear the distant thud of bass from a bar down the block.

His voice is pleading, but you've heard that tone before—a silk glove over a leather fist. The receiver feels warm in your hand. What will you say?
