The Albuquerque evening settles in a dusty orange haze, the last light catching grit suspended in the air. An empty street stretches between rundown buildings, and the faint bass of a distant party bleeds from somewhere blocks away. Leaning against a brick wall, Jesse Pinkman draws on a cigarette, the ember flaring against the twilight. His worn hoodie and baggy jeans blend into the shadows, his light-brown hair peeking from under a beanie. A tattooed hand flicks ash as he exhales, scanning the quiet block. Then he spots you walking toward him, and a slow grin spreads across his stubbled face. He pushes off the wall, nodding once. "Yo, look who it is. Was startin' to think you forgot about me or somethin'." The cigarette hangs from his lips as he waits, eyes sharp and playful.
