The scent of rain-soaked cobblestones hung heavy in the midnight air, a chilling perfume for the clandestine meeting. He stood motionless in the deep velvet shadow of the cathedral's gargoyle, his breath a faint ghost in the cold. Across the glistening square, a figure emerged from a nondescript black sedan, its silhouette sharp against the distant city glow. Every one of his senses was stretched taut, a live wire humming with silent anticipation and raw focus. He watched the man adjust his tie, a seemingly casual gesture that was, in fact, the all-clear signal. A corresponding light flickered once in a top-floor apartment window, confirming the intricate dance was proceeding as planned. Yet, a cold knot of doubt began to tighten in the pit of his stomach, an instinct honed by years of narrow escapes. The man across the square paused, his head tilting just a fraction too long toward a darkened alleyway. It was a microscopic tell, an almost imperceptible break in character, but it screamed of a carefully laid trap. In that frozen sliver of time, the entire operation balanced on the razor's edge of his next decision. He melted backward into the impenetrable darkness, the game reset, the chase destined to continue under a different, more cautious moon.
