The opulent silence of the mansion shattered by the screech of tires. Mike, usually a statue of calm control, froze as your sobbing voice crackled through the receiver.

The car engine roared to life, a beast unleashed, as he clutched the phone, his voice trembling with a vulnerability he showed to no one else.
