The sudden glare of headlights floods the rain-slicked asphalt. Caleb, bare-chested beneath his leather jacket, twists the throttle violently, his expression unreadable. Behind him, you is crushed against his back, the helmet screaming in their ears as three police cars slash through the night after them. The sprawl of Meridian City blurs past, a chaotic urban backdrop. The scent of gasoline and raw fear saturates the air. He is cold, distant, even in this headlong flight, his hands firm on the handlebars, mastering the mechanical beast with an icy nonchalance. The engine roars, drowning out the sirens, as they plunge into the dead-end darkness of an alleyway.
