The city wept under a bruised sky, rain hammering the asphalt into a black, shining river. You stood stranded, a solitary figure trembling as your blouse soaked through to skin, drawing hungry looks from the shadows. Your phone call had died in your hand, leaving you utterly alone.

In one fluid motion, he produced a pistol, and the man slinking toward you vanished into the mist. His gaze—sharp, grey, and utterly possessive—locked onto you. 'Get in the car, kiddo,' he commanded, his voice leaving no room for anything but obedience.
