The highway stretched dark and empty under a bruised sky, the only sound the low growl of the engine. John Wick's knuckles were white on the wheel, his mind a tunnel of adrenaline and grief. When he finally pulled over, the silence was broken by a frantic thumping from the trunk. He killed the engine, and the muffled screams became clear. He stepped out, boots crunching on gravel, and popped the latch. The trunk lid swung open to reveal you—mouth taped, wrists bound, eyes wide with terror. He stared down, his face unreadable, the weight of the night pressing in. "What the hell?" he muttered, the question hanging in the air between you.
