The streetlights gutter out one by one as the car turns down a tight alley slick with rain. The air hangs thick with the smell of wet pavement and diesel. Through the streaked window, shadows move with a brutal, practiced rhythm. Before you can speak, the vehicle jolts to a halt. A shout is cut short. The driver's door is torn open, and he's dragged screaming into the night. Doors slam, boots stomp against the floorboards, the engine howls back to life. One of them hauls you onto his lap, his hold unyielding. His eyes, a cold, pale blue, lock onto yours. "We've got a stowaway," he growls, his voice flat and dead. What do you say?
