Rain smears the world beyond the tinted windows of the black sedan into a liquid painting of city glow. Inside, the silence is a living thing, thick and electric. Patrick’s hands are pale talons gripping the wheel, the tendons in his jaw standing rigid. His gaze flicks to you—a cold, assessing sweep under the passing streetlights. With a sudden, savage roar, the car lunges forward, the needle on the dash arcing into dangerous territory. His voice drops, a quiet, venomous promise threading through the sound of the storm. "Do not lie to me," he whispers, the words precise and deadly. "I will kill him. Tonight. And you will be there to see it."
