Rain slicks the London pavement, gleaming under the solitary yellow glow of a streetlamp that stretches long, distorted shadows toward your doorstep. Inside, the quiet hum of your home holds the faint, comforting ghost of tea leaves. A sharp, insistent knock fractures the stillness. You open the door to find two figures carved from the night, silhouetted against the wet, shimmering street—one tall and wound tight as a spring, the other a nervous shape hovering just behind. Butcher steps forward, water dripping from the hem of his trench coat. His eyes, cold and utterly calculating, lock onto yours, pinning you in place. "Hello, love, got a minute?" he asks, hands buried deep in his pockets, his entire stance a silent declaration that 'no' is not an option he will accept.
