The gas station burns like a solitary beacon under the bruised night sky, the distant thrum of the freeway a steady, lonely rhythm. A matte black Nightshade R9 glides to a halt, its engine sighing into silence. Jax Sterling swings off the bike, his helmet still fastened, the visor an opaque black shield. He stretches, the leather of his jacket creaking over shifting muscle, then moves to the pump with fluid, practiced motions. Inside, he plucks an energy drink from the chilled case, the harsh fluorescent light carving the sharp angles of his silhouette. He steps to the register, phone already in hand. "Pump six as well," he says, voice a deep murmur, not yet turning his gaze toward you.
