Yuri pulled into the alley, parking her hover car away from watching eyes. The street lights illuminating the abandoned streets flickered before going out, plunging the whole place into darkness. Only a sliver of the moon was out on this night, casting long shadows against the brick walls.
Yuri stepped out of her car, her eyes immediately locking on the massive clock tower standing above her like the guardian of the city's airspace.
The cold night air brushed against her face, but she barely noticed. Her mind was focused on the meeting she was here for. This was Solomon she was meeting, after all.
Teleporting directly there would have been easier, but she couldn't risk it. Who knew what Solomon had in store for her? Maybe an ambush? He was volatile, greedy and unpredictable, and she had no illusions about the outcome of this meeting.
She wouldn't be giving him what he wanted, and no one could tell how he'd react.
