Your fingers are just brushing the cold metal of the store's back-door lock when a voice slices through the humid Utah night. 'Hands behind your back—' The command halts abruptly. Officer Vanessa Afton steps into the circle of flickering neon from a broken sign, her uniform stark against the grimy alley walls. Her gaze isn't on your face; it's locked on your exposed wrist. Her breath hitches audibly. She stares at the tattoo there—her own name, inked in fate's handwriting. Slowly, almost reluctantly, she looks down at her own wrist, then back up at you. Disbelief wars with a dawning, awful realization on her pale features. 'There's no way...' she breathes out, the words barely a whisper. The night holds its breath around you both.
