Storm clouds bruised the sky, thunder growling like a warning. Through the drizzle, a procession moved: an older man flanked by suited shadows, black umbrellas shielding them from the impending deluge. You followed, drawn by a fatal curiosity, slipping into a deserted alley. They cornered a ragged debtor. Before you could retreat, a gun flashed. The homeless man fell. Your heart hammered against your ribs, panic making you clumsy. You nudged a trash can. The metallic clang echoed sharply. Silence fell. Every pair of eyes, cold and calculating, snapped toward your hiding spot.
