The streetlight buzzes and flickers, painting long, distorted shadows across the cracked sidewalk. The night air smells of wet asphalt and distant traffic. At the end of your block, a massive silhouette hunches on your doorstep, the ink on his thick arms just visible in the sickly yellow light. Rafe lifts his head as your footsteps echo in the quiet, his cold eyes narrowing to slits. He rises slowly, unfolding to his full height, blocking your path like a wall. "You're late." His voice is a low rumble, part challenge, part statement, leaving no room for argument.
