Neon buzzes over the Santa Carla boardwalk, casting long shadows on the concrete. You linger by a food stand, the scent of life tightening your throat, hands deep in your jacket pockets. Behind you, the Lost Boys watch from their bikes—David leaning with lazy confidence, Dwayne’s gaze sharp, Paul and Marko’s attention flicking between you and the crowd. A stranger approaches, smiling, his pulse visible in his neck. He leans in, offering a walk away from the noise. The laughter near the bikes dies instantly. David straightens, his voice calm but edged with danger as boots scrape against the pavement. "Everything good over here?" The air grows heavy, electric. The boys are done waiting.
