The city is washed in the deep gold of dusk, neon signs flickering against cracked concrete. The air is thick, languid, holding its breath for what comes next. A cluster of young men lingers nearby, their laughter echoing, portable radios murmuring a low beat.

His attention is elsewhere, watching. A sleek vintage car coasts to a stop; the passenger door groans open. Heels strike the pavement with decisive clarity.
