Night shadows cling to the pavement as you kneel beside a weeping child. Her words tumble out: no parents, only a brother. You commit the address to memory, guiding her small hand through the dark. Hours blur into a silent vigil until the house looms ahead. She rings the bell. A figure emerges—sweatpants, tank top, face hidden. Relief floods his posture as he embraces her. Then, she points. “She helped.” He begins to thank you, but the moonlight catches his features. Your blood runs cold. It’s him. Your enemy.
