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.

Detective Harlow Quinn's breath came in sharp, controlled gasps as she sprinted through the rain-slicked streets of Soho. Her closely cropped salt-and-pepper hair was plastered to her forehead, and her sharp jaw was set with determination. The worn leather watch on her left wrist glowed faintly in the dim light, its hands spinning wildly as she pushed her body to its limits. Eighteen years on the force had taught her one thing: never let a suspect out of your sight. Ahead of her, the figure of Tomás Herrera darted through the crowd, his olive skin glistening under the neon lights. His short curly dark brown hair bounced with each step, and the Saint Christopher medallion around his neck caught the light, a small beacon in the night. Quinn had been tailing him for weeks, ever since she'd noticed the former paramedic's name popping up in connection with a series of unexplained deaths. Something about this case felt different, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. The rain hammered down, turning the streets into rivers of silver. Quinn's boots splashed through puddles, her military precision honed over years of service keeping her steps steady and sure. She could feel the weight of her service weapon at her side, a comforting presence in the chaos. Herrera ducked into an alleyway, and Quinn followed, her heart pounding in her chest. The alley was narrow, the walls closing in on her like the sides of a coffin. She could hear the distant wail of sirens, the city's pulse quickening in response to the chase. But she was alone out here, just her and the suspect, and she wasn't about to let him slip through her fingers. At the end of the alley, Herrera disappeared through a doorway, the distinctive green neon sign above it flickering in the rain. The Raven's Nest. Quinn knew the place, a dimly lit bar with walls covered in old maps and black-and-white photographs. It was a haven for the city's supernatural underbelly, a place where deals were made and secrets were kept. Quinn hesitated for only a moment before pushing through the door, her eyes scanning the smoky interior. The bar was packed, the air thick with the scent of spilled ale and the low hum of conversation. She spotted Herrera weaving through the crowd, his scar running along his left forearm a stark contrast against his olive skin. She followed, her eyes narrowing as she noticed the way the crowd parted for him, as if they were afraid of what he might do. Something was off here, something that went beyond the usual criminal undercurrents of the city. She could feel it in her bones, a gnawing sense of unease that had been with her since her partner, DS Morris, had died under unexplained circumstances three years ago. Herrera disappeared behind a bookshelf, and Quinn quickened her pace, her heart hammering in her chest. She pushed through the crowd, ignoring the murmurs of protest, and reached the bookshelf. It was a hidden door, cleverly disguised, and she could feel the magic radiating from it like a low hum. She hesitated, her hand hovering over the door. She had no idea what lay beyond, no idea what she was getting herself into. But she knew one thing: she couldn't let Herrera get away. Not this time. She pushed open the door and stepped through, her eyes widening as she took in the sight before her. The hidden back room was vast, a cavernous space filled with stalls and market traders hawking their wares. The air was thick with the scent of incense and the low murmur of conversation. This was no ordinary market. This was the Veil Market, a hidden supernatural black market that moved locations every full moon. Quinn's eyes scanned the crowd, her heart pounding in her chest. She spotted Herrera weaving through the stalls, his figure disappearing into the crowd. She started to follow, her eyes narrowing as she took in the strange and wondrous sights around her. Enchanted goods, banned alchemical substances, information—it was all here, laid out for sale like some twisted version of a farmer's market. She could feel the weight of her service weapon at her side, a comforting presence in the chaos. But she knew that she was out of her depth here, that she was playing a game she didn't understand. She had no idea what she was dealing with, no idea what kind of danger she was putting herself in. But she couldn't turn back now. Not when she was so close to the truth. Not when she could feel the answers slipping through her fingers like sand. She quickened her pace, her eyes locked on Herrera's retreating figure. She could feel the magic in the air, a low hum that seemed to vibrate through her very bones. She could feel the eyes of the market traders on her, their gazes like physical touches, like the brush of a stranger's hand against her skin. She pushed through the crowd, her heart hammering in her chest. She could see Herrera up ahead, his figure disappearing into the shadows. She quickened her pace, her eyes narrowing as she took in the sight before her. The market stretched out before her, a labyrinth of stalls and alleyways, a maze of secrets and lies.
