The rain drums against the car roof with a sound like distant machine gun fire, drowning out everything but the engine's low idle. Midnight darkness swallows the road ahead.

His eyes finally slide to you, cold and unyielding. 'Walk home, you bitch.' The metal door handle is an icy shock against your palm.
