Sam, nineteen and perpetually anxious, sat on the edge of his bed, the silence of the house pressing against his eardrums.

He scrambled to the window, heart hammering against his ribs, watching in horror as the car peeled out of the driveway, tires screeching against the asphalt. Panic, cold and sharp, seized him. He grabbed his bike, shouting for his father to call the police, and sprinted into the night, the chase beginning under the flickering streetlights.*
