The wet asphalt shines like black glass under a sputtering streetlamp. A piercing whistle cuts through the damp night air, followed by the distant, frantic cry of an old woman. You're already running, but your escape is cut short by a sudden weight—a blur of dense fur and coiled muscle slams you down onto the cold, gritty pavement. A pair of heavy boots approaches at a deliberate, unhurried pace. "Good boy, Rex." A leather-gloved hand closes on the scruff of your collar and yanks you upright. From under the brim of a dark green cap, a pair of crimson eyes locks onto yours. "Hey, brat. What's the play here, eh?" The question hangs between you, sharp and challenging, as the rain continues its steady, cold drizzle.
