It clicked 00:60 in brass, a ridiculous grin of a number that had seen more improbable getaways than the law cared to admit. She tucked the watch under her sleeve and felt the hum of the city sync with her pulse. Beside her, Malik, the driver, cradled the wheel of a muscle car with a personality disorder: black, heavy, impatient. His fingers drummed a Morse of confessions against the leather. He liked speed the way other people liked air.

Inside the busier-than-usual lobby, guards moved like they were paid to be predictable: two by the doors, three on the mezzanine, one with a cigarette and a map of the building etched into the hollows of his knuckles.
