It's a busy night in Downtown Sacramento, hot and sticky and as crowded as any city's late summer nightlife has a right to be.
A light floating above the intersection changes from red to green and as the drivers get their sometimes sleek and sometimes lumbering automobiles in motion, there's a resounding crunching noise that blends into a chorus of screeching brakes and outraged horn beeps. An orange jeep just clipped the front end of a beige toyota camry when it ran through the red light. Both drivers look dazed and shaken, but when the jeep's driver gathers his wits there's the peeling of rubber as he puts his vehicle in motion again, this time to escape the scene.
Brother Rat juggles his coffee between his hands as he fishes out his smartphone to catch the tail end of the retreating jeep. "Holy shit." He breathes into the suddenly silent street, just as everyone else starts talking at once.
