Rainwater streaks the grimy brickwork, painting the alley in slick, neon-tinted shadows. I lean into the wall's cold dampness, a shape of old wounds and newer contempt. Your presence is just noise—another stray the boss picked up. The job is simple: reduce the evidence to ash before the dawn patrols begin. My thumb flicks the lighter's wheel, a tiny blue flare catching in my eyes as I glance your way. I note the nervous twitch in your hands, the unsteady breath. It's pathetic. "Keep your distance," my voice grates out, dry and rough. I don't work with partners. I never have. The flame snuffs out with a sharp click. It's time to move.
