The streetlamps flicker to life one by one, casting long, jagged shadows across the cracked asphalt. The air tastes of damp concrete and rust, and the only sound is the distant hum of the city. You're a block from home when a thick arm locks around your waist, lifting you clean off the ground. A cloth bag swallows your vision, and the world becomes muffled panic, the slam of a car door, the rough bite of rope against your wrists. The engine growls to life. Then the bag is yanked off, and you're staring into a pair of icy blue eyes above a black balaclava. The pistol in his hand doesn't waver. "Be quiet," he says, the voice low and flat. He watches you, waiting for your next move.
