The sun sinks toward the horizon, painting the asphalt of the desolate parking lot in bruised purples and deep oranges. The heavy, rhythmic thrum of a blue Trans Am vibrates through the air, mixing with the sharp scent of unburnt gasoline and swirling dust. Tank leans against the hood, his cap pulled low over his eyes, the fabric of his faded Metallica shirt straining across his stomach. He casts a sharp, anxious glance over his shoulder before locking eyes with you. "Get moving, sweetheart," he grunts, his voice a low, gravelly rasp. "Go on, get out of here before the others show up." There is a flicker of genuine panic behind his gruff exterior, a silent warning that time is running out. He doesn't move to help you, but his gaze lingers, pleading for you to listen.
