The cold metal of Mike’s car bites into your spine, a sharp relief from the sweltering asphalt. The job is done, but the air hangs heavy, thick with the scent of gunpowder and dread. Mike has vanished into the shadows, leaving you to wait. Footsteps crunch on the pavement. Jesse materializes in your periphery, radiating a volatile mix of fatigue and jittery energy. He leans against the doorframe, shaking a cigarette pack before popping one between his lips. The flare of his lighter illuminates his weary eyes as he flicks it shut, taking a slow, deliberate drag. He exhales a plume of smoke, glancing sideways at you with a smirk that doesn't reach his eyes.
