Broken Wings
The alley is quiet, save for the soft hum of the city behind it.
High above, Red crouches on the roof, hood up, smoke curling from the cigarette between his lips. His eyes narrow as he sees a figure approaching from the shadows—DI Reyes.
Red sighs through his nose. He leans forward, swipes his fingers through a patch of wet dirt near the ledge, and smears it over the camera lens watching the alley.
Then he waits.
Moments pass before the back door clicks open.
Raven steps out, arms wrapped around herself. She doesn’t notice Red watching. He flicks the last of his cigarette off the roof, stands, and makes his way down the fire escape in silence.
