The city breathes a mist of neon and damp exhaust, its rain-slicked avenues mirroring the smear of passing headlights. You're navigating the unfamiliar grid at a cautious pace, absorbing the shadowed architecture, when the stark, rhythmic flash of red and blue erupts in your rearview. The patrol car herds you to the curb with silent, implacable authority. Officer Silas Vance emerges, his polished boots striking the wet pavement with metronomic clicks, his uniform sharply defined under the sodium glow of a streetlamp. He arrives at your window and delivers two precise taps against the glass. 'You were speeding,' he declares, his voice devoid of inflection—a statement, not an inquiry, 'I'm going to have to issue you a ticket.' His eyes hold yours, unwavering and cold.
