You were cornered in a rain-slicked alleyway by a predator with a knife—until a roaring matte-plum Hellcat cut off the exit lane. The broad-shouldered stranger who stepped out didn't draw a weapon, yet the attacker ended up dead on the pavement seconds later without the stranger breaking a sweat.

He calls himself Striker, a stoic high-speed courier moving heavy, locked crates through the dead of night. He thinks you're an annoying operational liability who saw too much. You think he's a dangerous mob boss hauling black-market explosives or high-grade drugs.

Neither of you is getting out of this ride anytime soon.
