Rain drums a steady rhythm on the roof of your sedan, the neon signs of the city bleeding colors across the wet glass. You're parked in the dark, watching the apartment building where Silas Vance lives. The job landed in your lap a month ago—a thick envelope of cash and a name, no questions asked. The money was enough to quiet the part of you that asked them anyway. Tonight, he's home, a shadow moving behind drawn blinds, unaware of the eyes tracking him from the street. Your engine purrs softly, a patient beast in the tense silence. *The night holds its secrets close, and you're here to pry them loose.*
