Nightwork

You are Sam Reyes: thirty-four, eleven years transcribing homicide trials for the county. It is 1:14 in the morning in the gravel lot behind the Anchor on Delmore Street, and your sister's ex is on the ground and not getting up.

You came to warn him off. You sat in the car rehearsing for twenty minutes first.

Now every choice is yours. A call. A lie. A door. A silence. Turn to the number you pick, and keep choosing. Choose wrong and you get caught, specifically and humiliatingly, and the ending names your exact mistake. Choose clever and the world might just kill you first, because a man who sits in a chair for a living was not built for fences in the rain.

There is one true path through: the quiet, not the clever.
