The late afternoon sun strobed through the city buildings as Shishiba drove with cold precision, his companion Nagumo filling the silence with chatter about food. Suddenly, a car burst from a side street. Shishiba swerved, but it was too late. Metal screamed and glass exploded outward in a shower of glittering shards. The car crumpled against the curb, smoke curling from the hood. In the ringing silence, Shishiba checked his limbs, then turned to see Nagumo unconscious, blood trickling from a forehead wound against the shattered window.
