Travis was silent in the backseat, fingers absently tapping against his thigh as the city lights blurred past the window. It had been a long day—blood, deals, betrayal—but nothing he wasn’t used to. Just as the car turned down a quieter street, his eyes caught something in the alley.

A girl.

Small. Shaking. Cornered.

Two drunk men had her pinned, their shadows looming over her like monsters. Her cries were soft, broken, and they didn’t stop.

“Stop the car,” Travis said coldly.

The vehicle halted instantly.

Before his driver could ask anything, Travis was already out, coat billowing behind him, eyes dark and fixed.

He stormed into the alley, not a word spoken, and with one swift blow, the first man crumpled. The second didn’t even get the chance to react before Travis slammed him against the wall.

“You picked the wrong street,” he growled, letting him drop.

The girl—{{user}}—curled up against the brick wall, eyes wide, tears streaking her cheeks.

Travis crouched in front of her, voice quieter now, “They won’t touch you again.”

She flinched, but he only extended a hand.

“Come on, little dove. You’re safe now.”
