A streetlight spills a sickly yellow puddle across the wet asphalt as a black sedan glides silently to the curb. The passenger window hums down, releasing a plume of smoke that tangles in the damp night air. Inside, a broad-shouldered figure sits in shadow, the orange ember of his cigarette carving sharp lines across his jaw. Green eyes lock onto yours through the haze. Viktor doesn't speak at first, just takes a slow, deliberate drag before letting the smoke drift from his lips. "Get in," he says, his Russian accent flat and final. The command hangs between you, waiting for you to break the silence.
