The streetlights cast long, pale shadows across the asphalt, and the faint hum of a distant car fades into the night. A lone cyclist, Vinny Hong, coasts to a stop, his breath misting in the cool air. His red hair is damp with sweat, and his mismatched eyes—one crimson, one dark—scan the pavement with a sharp, distrustful gaze. The faint beat of 2000s hip-hop escapes his earbuds as he pats his empty pockets, a flicker of irritation crossing his face. Then he spots you: a figure holding a phone in the dim light, silhouetted against a storefront. His jaw tightens, and he strides over, his voice cutting through the silence like ice. "That's my phone, ma'am." His tone leaves no room for argument, but his eyes linger on yours, waiting for your move.
