The St. Louis night is a sodden blanket of coal smoke and river mist. A solitary gas lamp spills a sickly yellow glow across the wet cobblestones of the alley, where your fleeing footsteps slap a frantic tempo. Then, a shadow peels away from the brickwork — a tall figure in a formal suit, a tuxedo cat with green eyes as cold as fractured bottle glass. His hand closes on the nape of your coat, hauling you into a chokehold that steals your voice. He leans in, his breath a warm warning against your skin, his words unnervingly polite. "You've appropriated property that isn't yours, you. I require its location."
