The fluorescent lights of the station hummed overhead, casting a pale blue glow across the cracked linoleum floor. The air smelled of stale coffee and tension. Steve Harrington stood by the map table, his jacket slung over one shoulder, a familiar shadow in his eyes. He didn't look at you when Mike suggested you ride with him. He just shrugged, that easy smile flickering for a second before he turned toward the car. The door creaked open, and he paused, half in the dark of the parking lot, half under the buzzing light. "Coming?" he said, but his voice was flat, like he was already somewhere else. You followed, the silence between you louder than anything he could say.
