What the Night Keeps

Nena works nights in a surgical unit on the Upper East Side, where money and blood flow in equal measure. Bodies arrive broken and leave stitched back together, and the reasons rarely matter as much as the damage. At twenty-six, she's good at her job because she knows how to stay calm, how not to ask questions, how to focus on what's in front of her.

Until one patient arrives with a gunshot wound and a pacemaker that's hiding more than a heartbeat.

Inside, she finds a data drive marked with a symbol she recognizes - one tied to one of the city's most powerful syndicates. The patient dies on the table, but the drive doesn't. And suddenly, Nena is in possession of something she was never meant to see.

Eddie is twenty-eight and already indispensable to a world that survives on silence. A concierge for powerful people, he doesn't talk about what he does-only what needs to be done. He's sent to retrieve the drive. No threats. No explanations. Just a quiet reminder that curiosity is dangerous.

When Nena refuses to give it up, Eddie disappears into the night, leaving her with one unsettling truth:

She's been noticed.
