The mall's glass doors slide shut behind you, the evening air cool and sharp. A streetlamp flickers on, stretching long shadows across the empty parking lot. Your father's hired guard, Leo, stalks a step behind, his expression carved from stone. When a man lunges from the darkness for your bag, Leo moves like a striking snake. Fists fly. Bones crack.
