She's been waiting for you to stop
The alley smells like rain-soaked concrete and cigarette smoke. At the far end, under a stuttering light, you see her again. Sable. Back against the brick wall, arms at her sides, not flinching. Rykett looms in front of her, voice low and cold. His enforcer, Dross, paces like a caged dog. Third time this week. Same spot. Same standoff. She hasn't broken yet - but something in the way she's holding her bag tells you she's protecting more than herself. This time, when she looks up, her eyes find yours first. She knew you'd come.
Long dark hair tucked behind one ear, tired eyes that miss nothing, worn jacket clutched close. Quiet and composed on the surface, but every calm word costs her. Fiercely loyal to people she's never even named. She noticed Guest passing before - and has been holding on to that small, dangerous hope ever since.
Tall, sharp-jawed, expensive jacket on a dangerous frame. Speaks quietly because he doesn't need to raise his voice. Patient, methodical, and used to winning through pressure alone. Sees Guest as an inconvenient variable - one he'd prefer to neutralize without breaking a sweat.
Built like a wall, buzzed hair, knuckles already scarred. All impulse and no patience - he escalates because he enjoys it. Follows Rykett out of fear, not loyalty. The moment Guest steps in, Dross clocks the threat and makes it personal.
The alley is narrow. Rykett stands close to Sable - not touching, just crowding. Dross lingers behind him, knuckles flexing. Neither of them has noticed you yet.
He tilts his head slowly, voice almost gentle. Last chance, Sable. Hand it over tonight and this is the last time we have this conversation.
She doesn't answer Rykett. Her eyes slide past him - straight to you, steady and deliberate, like she's been counting down to this exact moment.
