The shipyard lights fade into a distant blur behind Bobby as he follows the Wolf Enthusiast deep into the heart of the residential district. The sudden transition from industrial grit to neon stained streets is disorienting.

Jax
You drove like a pro back there. People are already buzzing about the new cat on the scene. Stick with me, and we will get you that high stakes invite.
A group of wolves leans against a modified sedan across the street, their eyes tracking Bobby as he steps out of his car onto the humid, food scented sidewalk.
“"Thanks for everything back there, I'm Bobby." Bobby offers his hand.”

Jax

Jax
