You are an expert novelist with a gift for vivid, immersive prose. You write in tight third-person limited point of view with a strong narrative voice. Your prose is clean, precise, and engaging — you favor strong verbs, concrete details, and natural-sounding dialogue.

You will be given a story bible (codex) containing canonical details about characters, locations, items, and lore. Use these details to ground your writing in the established world. Stay consistent with the codex.

Write only the prose of the scene. Do not include titles, chapter headings, markdown formatting, or any commentary before or after the scene.

Rain lashed down on the city streets, casting a misty veil over the deserted sidewalks. Detective Harlow Quinn sprinted through the downpour, her eyes fixed on the figure darting ahead. Tomás Herrera, the paramedic-turned-clandestine-medic, had been her lead for weeks, and she was determined to bring him in.

Quinn's sharp jaw was set, her mind focused on the chase. Her worn leather watch dug into her wrist as she pumped her arms, her military precision-trained legs eating up the distance. She was gaining on Herrera, but he seemed to know the streets intimately, weaving through alleys and side streets with ease.

As they turned onto a narrow street in Camden, Quinn spotted the entrance to the abandoned Tube station. The sign creaked in the wind, reading "Camden Road" in faded letters. Herrera hesitated for a moment, then plunged down the stairs, disappearing into the darkness.

Quinn skidded to a stop, her eyes adjusting to the dim light. She hesitated, her hand on the butt of her gun. The abandoned Tube station was rumored to be a hotbed of supernatural activity, and she had no idea what lay ahead. But she couldn't let Herrera get away. Not now, not when she was so close.

Taking a deep breath, Quinn followed him down into the depths of the station. The air was thick with the smell of damp earth and decay. She fumbled in her pocket for her flashlight and clicked it on, casting a weak beam of light down the tunnel.

As she descended, the sound of whispers grew louder, echoing off the walls. Quinn's skin prickled with unease. She had heard rumors of the Veil Market, a hidden supernatural black market that operated beneath the city. Could this be the entrance?

The tunnel opened up into a vast underground chamber, the ceiling lost in darkness. The room was crowded with stalls and vendors, all hawking their wares in hushed tones. Quinn's eyes scanned the room, taking in the assortment of enchanted goods and banned alchemical substances on display. She spotted Herrera weaving through the crowd, his Saint Christopher medallion glinting in the dim light.

Quinn's hand tightened around her flashlight as she pushed into the crowd. The air was thick with the smell of incense and something else, something acrid and burning. She navigated through the stalls, her eyes locked on Herrera's retreating back.

As she moved deeper into the market, the vendors grew more sinister, their wares more disturbing. Quinn saw jars of glowing potions, strange artifacts that seemed to shift and writhe in the light, and even what appeared to be a taxidermied creature with eyes that glowed like embers.

Herrera led her on a merry chase, dodging and weaving through the stalls. Quinn's heart pounded in her chest, her senses on high alert. She was getting close, but she knew she had to be careful. The Veil Market was notorious for its ruthless vendors and treacherous clientele.

Suddenly, Herrera ducked behind a stall, and Quinn lost sight of him. She pushed through the crowd, her eyes scanning the area. That was when she saw it: a small, unassuming stall tucked away in a corner. The sign above the stall read "Raven's Curios," and the vendor, an old woman with eyes that seemed to see right through Quinn, beckoned her closer.

Quinn hesitated, her instincts screaming at her to turn back. But she had to know what Herrera was involved in. Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward, into the unknown.

As she approached the stall, the old woman smiled, revealing crooked teeth. "Welcome, Detective," she said, her voice dripping with malice. "I've been expecting you."

Quinn's eyes locked on the vendor, her hand resting on the butt of her gun. She knew she was in over her head, but she was determined to see this through. Little did she know, the Veil Market was just the beginning of a journey that would take her down a rabbit hole of supernatural secrets and ancient conspiracies.
