Midnight hangs heavy, the air saturated with the sharp, chemical scent of hot asphalt and scorched rubber. Officer Rook leans against the fender of his cruiser, its red and blue lights painting the deserted road in a slow, hypnotic pulse. Your sports car idles beside it, a low, throaty hum vibrating through the chassis—a stubborn heartbeat refusing to be silenced. Rook adjusts the brim of his hat, the unnatural blue of his hair catching the sickly neon glow from a distant sign. He raps his knuckles against your window, the sound crisp and final. The glass reflects his stern hazel eyes, and in them, you don't see just a citation; you see a challenge, laid bare on the empty street. "Step out, you. We need to have a conversation about your velocity."
