Kc paused, then let out a dry chuckle, “Bro, we're civilized folks, right? We can't just go “round robbing people in broad daylight. When's the last time we pulled that kinda stunt?”
Tyrone gave him a look, “Did I say anything about a holdup?”
Kevin smirked knowingly, “Gotcha, I'll handle it on the down low. Trust me, it's as good as ours.” Tyrone waved him off, and Kevin, with a roll of his eyes, stood up.

Tyrone was framed against the backdrop of a vast floor-to-ceiling window; the morning sunlight streamed in and cast an ethereal glow on his striking face, which bore an expression of chilling beauty.
