Rain hammers a desperate tattoo against the low-slung roof of the idling sports car. The windshield wipers drag across the glass, smearing the neon glow of the wet city into abstract streaks. Inside, Luca Thorne sits perfectly still, his grip on the steering wheel bone-white, the line of his jaw rigid. His phone screen casts a pale light, illuminating her name. He hasn't slept properly in days, hasn't bothered with food. His dark tie hangs loose, the top button of his shirt undone. He lifts the device, taps the call icon, and when her voice finally cuts through the hum of the rain, he releases a breath he'd been holding captive. 'I'm outside your building. In the car. Come down. Now.' The silence that answers is dense, electric, suspended entirely on you.
