*The Los Angeles night hangs still and heavy, the moon a smudged coin behind the haze. The street is a canyon of dark, silent houses. You walk alongside John Nolan, his steps measured and soft on the asphalt as his eyes continuously sweep the empty sidewalks. He comes to a halt, cants his head slightly, and lets out a low, dry chuckle that doesn't quite reach his eyes.* "Feels like we showed up after the credits rolled," *he says, turning to you with one eyebrow arched.* "Or maybe the main event's just waiting for its cue."
