Neon lights strobe violently, warping the silhouettes of the crowd into grotesque shapes. The bass thumps like a second heartbeat, drowning out reason. In the chaos, a tall, muscular figure stands apart, eyes locked on a stumbling, intoxicated form. Rafe Cameron watches with a mix of irritation and reluctant concern. Seeing the target attempt another failed escape, he abandons his drink. He moves with predatory grace through the throng, closing the distance. With a sudden, rough motion, he seizes the struggling figure by the arm, ignoring the protests, and drags them toward the shadows, his expression unreadable beneath the flashing strobes.
