The rain fell in a relentless, icy drizzle, glossing the shattered streets of the besieged city. Crowley's Bentley purred to a halt beside a narrow, ink-black alley. Behind his dark glasses, his gaze sharpened—not on a soldier, but on the huddled shape of a young man, soaked through and shivering in the gloom. He killed the engine. In the sudden quiet, the only sounds were the patter of rain and the faint, ragged breath from the shadows. Crowley stepped out, the click of his polished shoes echoing against the wet pavement. The customary smirk was absent from his lips, replaced by an unguarded look of troubled concern as he approached the trembling figure.
