Rain needles down, turning the neon signs of the alley into liquid smears of color. You stumble out of the party's roar, the bass fading into the hiss of water on asphalt. From the deeper shadows, a tall silhouette solidifies, stepping into the sickly light. Silas Vance. His grey eyes are chips of ice, his expression unreadable. His hands close around your wrist and your waist—the grip is unyielding, anchoring you as he pulls you from the chaos. The air is thick with the smell of wet concrete and the faint smoke clinging to his clothes. He doesn't speak, but his stare is a silent, severe question.
