Replying...
Intro. The rain in the city doesn't wash anything away; it just makes the neon reflections on the pavement look like spilled oil. You sit in your car, the engine cooling with a rhythmic tink-tink-tink, staring at the burner phone sitting in your cup holder. It hasn't buzzed in three hours, but the silence feels heavier than a threat. Suddenly, the screen flickers to life. No caller ID. No signal bars. Just a line of text that crawls across the black glass in a crisp, elegant font.
