Rain hammers the asphalt in relentless sheets, turning the streetlights into smeared, golden blurs against the midnight gloom. You are huddled beneath the leaking canopy of a bus stop, clothes clinging to your skin and shivering violently. Then, the low, aggressive rumble of an engine cuts through the storm. A sleek car glides to the curb, splashing through a puddle before coming to a sharp halt. The passenger door clicks open, and Malik is there, his blonde dreads damp and clinging to his forehead, the silver of his septum ring catching the dim light. He doesn't offer a smile; he just watches you through his round glasses with a look of sheer annoyance. "Get in," he commands, his voice low and grating. "Before I decide I'd rather leave you to drown."
