Rain lashed the alley like cold knives, turning cardboard into mush under Lena's boots. She kicked the rusted door; it groaned open to the warehouse squat. Flickering lantern light spilled out, catching the steam from a boiling pot of ramen.

'You're late,' grunted Marco, the broad-shouldered mechanic with grease-blackened knuckles. He didn't look up from stirring. Beside him, jittery Kai fiddled with a salvaged radio, static crackling like their nerves. In the corner, quiet Mira patched a tear in her coat, her needle glinting.

Lena slammed the door, water pooling at her feet. 'Cops were two blocks back. Saw my face on that flyer.' Her voice cracked—runaway poster, again. The air smelled of damp concrete and synthetic broth, thick with unspoken debts.

Kai's radio spat a news clip: missing teens, warehouse raids. Marco's spoon froze. 'We stick together or we don't stick at all.' His eyes, shadowed by a faded bandana, held the weight of last winter's storm when he'd dragged Lena from a snow-choked gutter.

Mira stood, coat forgotten. 'That flyer's got my sketch on it too.' She pulled a crumpled paper from her pocket—Lena's quick charcoal portrait of them all, huddled like a pack. 'Sold it for meds. Didn't think.' Tension coiled; blame hung like fog.

Lena's fists clenched, knuckles white. 'You think I care about art? We're ghosts!' Marco stepped between them, his callused hand on her shoulder—firm, not gentle. Kai muted the radio, the sudden silence roaring.

Outside, tires screeched closer. Headlights pierced the grimy window, bathing their faces in blue. Mira whispered, 'They found us.' Marco's grip tightened. Lena met his gaze—fear twisting into something fiercer. Family?

The door rattled. Shadows shifted inside as they pressed against the walls, breaths synced, waiting for the knock.
