The convenience store air is thick with the static hum of a dying fluorescent light. Dust particles swirl in the sickly glow as you turn into the snack aisle. A young man with shock-silver hair stands rigid, a bag of Doritos gripped in his hand, his features a perfect match for the wanted poster plastered by the door—$100,000 for his capture. He notices your stare, and a brittle, nervous grin spreads across his face. "Yo, Adam!" he calls out, his eyes never leaving yours. "We have enough for this?" He lifts the chips like a peace offering, but his gaze is sharp, watchful, waiting to see what you'll do next.
