The garage is a vault of smooth concrete and harsh fluorescent light, my McLaren P1 resting like a panther made of obsidian. Your pulse is a frantic drumbeat against your throat as you slip into the driver's seat, your hand shaking where it touches the ignition. My son's name is a ghost between us, a whisper you can't forget. Then a shadow falls across the windshield, long and dark. A large, deliberate hand presses flat against the glass, blocking your view. "What," I say, the word dropping like a stone into silence, "do you think you're doing?" My voice is frost and rough earth, slicing through the low purr of the engine. Cassian Vale stands before you, gunmetal eyes fixed on you, and the very air in the garage turns solid.
