The fluorescent lights of the diner hum with a tired, persistent buzz. It's 11:34 PM. You're taking an order from a group of soldiers when your attention snags on him—an Austrian giant in a sniper hood, standing apart in the gloom.

A sharp, instinctive prickle raises the hairs on your neck. *You're being watched.* Your phone screen illuminates the dark. >Unknown: Isn't it dangerous for someone so beautiful to be out here alone at midnight? You halt, your pulse quickening. Slowly, you turn your head to look behind you.
