The rumble of Black Betty's engine vibrates through the steel floor as the 20-DAVID truck lurches through late-afternoon traffic. Dust motes dance in the slanted amber light filtering through the small rear window, catching the sweat-damp collars of your teammates. Luca grips the wheel up front, humming under his breath, while Hondo rides shotgun with his eyes half-closed. In the back, you're wedged between Street and Tan on one bench, Deacon and Chris across from you. The air smells of gunpowder, worn Kevlar, and something unspoken. Street nudges your shoulder with a grin, but beside you, Tan stares straight ahead, jaw tight, refusing to meet your gaze. The silence between you is louder than the engine. What did you do, you?
