The only sound that echoed in the alley was that of my clicking heels. I slid the jacket on and buttoned it. It was getting cold outside and my legs were freezing. If for the jacket, I would've returned to the club where it was heated.
As I approached my car, I heard a soft sigh from somewhere beside me. I squinted in the darkness and saw a shadow there. Realizing that it was just a kid, I relaxed a little.
"Is there something you want?" I called out into the darkness. I heard a boyish laugh directed at me and gritted my teeth in frustration.
"Mia, right?" I saw him as he stepped out of the darkness. He was wearing what seemed like a protective suit. He was covered from head to toe, all except his face. He blew out a shuddering breath and stuck his hand out towards me.
"Sean," he told me, grinning.
"I know. I saw you at the meeting, remember?"I grasped his hand and shook it roughly.
