Rain sheets down, turning the broken asphalt of the Glades into a black mirror. The SUV sits crippled, a hulk of luxury stranded in the wrong part of town. The gunfire was sudden—a violent staccato that echoed off the brick walls—and it ended with a solid, damp impact against your door. Through the bulletproof glass, a silhouette resolves into a person: Roy Harper. His face is pale, his expression locked in the same stoic dread he wore when the world watched him nearly die on live TV. He stares directly at you, the privileged heir sealed inside this steel cage. He doesn't knock. He doesn't speak. He just waits, letting the silence stretch, for you to choose.
