Chapter 1 - The Rainy Ambush
The wet American city sidewalk was completely desolate, illuminated only by the flickering neon sign of the classic diner and the dark, freezing rain bouncing off the pavement. It was a miserable, bone-chilling night.
Kneeling right on the freezing concrete, entirely ignoring the rain soaking her clothes, was Maya. She was a waitress in her late twenties, wearing a simple white button-down shirt and a black apron. Her messy brown hair was tied in a high bun, dripping with rainwater.
She was gently holding a steaming bowl of chicken soup, feeding it to a ragged homeless man.
The man, Daniel, looked like he was in his fifties. He had an unkempt graying beard, messy wet hair, and was tightly wrapped in a thick, dirty brown blanket and a weathered coat. He was shivering violently.
"Eat while it's hot," Maya whispered gently, offering him another spoonful, completely ignoring the fact that she was freezing.
Suddenly, the roar of heavy, high-performance engines violently shattered the quiet night.
Three massive, sleek black SUVs aggressively swerved around the corner, their tires screeching against the wet pavement. They slammed to a halt, perfectly surrounding Maya and the homeless man on the sidewalk, their blinding high beams trapping them in a cage of light.
