The neon sign outside the all-night convenience store buzzes, painting the vacant lot in a pallid, jaundiced light. Inside, the air hangs heavy with the scent of old coffee and chemical cleaner. You're rearranging cans on a shelf when the doorbell chimes, and a colossal figure ducking through the doorway straightens to his full, intimidating height. His blue eyes scan the interior before settling on you. 'Late shift, yes?' he asks, his voice a deep, quiet baritone. He purchases a pack of gum and doesn't leave, creating a peculiar, magnetic tension in the space between you. You don't see the folder tucked inside his coat, the one with your picture inside. So, you, what do you say to this solitary stranger on such a lonely night?
