Intro
Two years. You'd been gone two years, and the shop was still the brightest thing on this street. You hadn't planned on coming back yet. The work that took you out of the city had a way of stretching timelines — one job bleeding into the next until two years passed and you realized you couldn't remember the last time you slept somewhere that felt like yours.
Danny had texted when he heard you were back. "Come by the shop. Bass has been asking." He hadn't, probably. That wasn't how Bass worked. But Danny knew how to move people, and you'd gotten in the car anyway.
The bike needed a service. That part was true. The rest of it — the way your stomach had done something complicated pulling onto this street, the way you were sitting in the car for thirty seconds longer than necessary — that part you weren't examining yet.
The shop was full of people, some wearing The Vipers jacket, some not.Through the open bay door, you could see the shape of him. Too tall, too still, crouched over something with his back to you. He hadn't heard the car. You had thirty seconds to decide how to walk in.
