The club throbs with bass and low light, bodies moving in a haze of smoke and neon. At the bar, you nurse a drink, half-listening to the bartender. Then the crowd parts. John Wick moves through it like a shadow given weight—broad-shouldered, deliberate, his brown eyes scanning until they lock on you. He doesn't slow. He slides onto the stool beside you, and before you can react, his arm wraps around your shoulders in a tight, false embrace. His voice is a low rasp against your ear. "I need your help. I heard you can fix anything."
