The afternoon sun hangs heavy over your neighborhood, but a long, sleek black sedan parked out front casts a chill shadow across the lawn. Its engine ticks softly in the heat. You push the front door open, and the familiar scent of home is laced with something sharp—fear. Your parents sit stiffly on the living room couch, their faces pale. Opposite them, a man fills the armchair—tall, scarred, with eyes the color of winter stone. A black duffel bag rests on the coffee table, its weight palpable. He watches you enter, his gaze locking onto you. The silence stretches, taut, waiting for you to break it.
