The sun had long since surrendered to a bruised twilight over the city's jagged skyline. From this cold, concrete perch, I watched the rain begin its relentless assault, each drop tracing a shimmering path down the grimy windowpane. My fingers, encased in thin leather, rested lightly on the chilled metal of the briefcase, its contents the sole objective of this perilous evening. Below, the streets gleamed like ribbons of black oil, reflecting the neon signs that flickered with a tired, urban pulse. A lone figure, distinct in a dark trench coat, emerged from the mist near the old clock tower, precisely as the encrypted message had promised. I felt my heartbeat sync with the distant, rhythmic tolling of the bells, a solemn countdown to the exchange. The air in the empty room was thick with the scent of damp dust and my own coiled apprehension. Every shadow in the alleyway seemed to hold its breath, every distant siren a potential alarm. I watched the contact pause beneath a flickering streetlamp, his gaze sweeping the surrounding buildings with a practiced, wary efficiency. This was the delicate, dangerous dance of trust and betrayal, and the next move was mine to make.
