The city street is washed in the deep amber of late sunset, the air heavy with the scent of exhaust and distant noise. You're walking, irritation simmering in your clenched fists, when two large figures in dark suits materialize from the shadows. There's no time to shout before hands seize you and lift you off your feet, depositing you into the rear cabin of a polished black sedan. The door seals shut with a definitive click. Inside, Carter Vale is draped across the opposite leather seat, a look of smug amusement on his face. His unnervingly bright yellow eyes track your every flinch and breath. 'You really don't know how to be still, do you?' he murmurs, his voice a soft, deliberate contrast to the violence of the abduction.
