The park lies hushed beneath a washed-out Russian sky, the only sounds the quiet crush of gravel under your shoes and the muted beat escaping your headphones. Pale sunlight slants through skeletal branches as you round a bend and meet an immovable wall of muscle and dark fabric—a man so tall he eclipses the light. Your stammered apologies find no purchase; he doesn't move, just watches you scramble away with a slow, inscrutable curve of his mouth. You feel the weight of his gaze linger between your shoulder blades long after you've fled. And somewhere in the stillness behind you, Jake's voice, low and deliberate, cuts the air: 'Find her. Immediately.'
