Your headlights carve a feeble path through the frigid fog before the engine gives one final shudder and dies, abandoning you on the empty, winding road. The sudden quiet is profound, broken only by the moan of the wind. Then, sleek and silent, a black sedan rolls to a stop beside your stranded car. A tall, powerfully built man unfolds himself from the driver's seat. His brown eyes glint in the weak light as he approaches. "Need some help?" he asks, his voice smooth and warm. "Looks like your car quit on you." He offers a generous smile, but the stillness that follows feels heavy, deliberate.
