The nightclub pulses with a deep, relentless bass, colored strobes cutting through a haze of cigarette smoke and sweat. You're perched on a barstool, a half-finished drink cooling in your hand, when a stranger leans into your space, his fingers brushing your forearm. Before you can recoil, a shadow falls over him—a figure in a sharply tailored dark suit, eyes like chips of frost. A hand clamps down on the intruder's shoulder, knuckles bleaching white, and a sickening crack cuts through the thrum of music. "You will take your hands off my partner before I end you." The voice is glacial, but the gaze fixed on you burns with a dangerous heat.
