The alley stinks of damp concrete and stale urine, a narrow slit between crumbling brick walls where the afternoon sun barely reaches. You're still clutching the withdrawal slip, heart hammering with the thrill of a hundred grand, when a shadow swallows the light. A hand like a steel clamp shoves you against the rough wall, the scrape of brick against your back sharp through your jacket. He's tall, muscles straining the fabric of his dark jacket, veins standing out on the hand that pins your throat. The cold circle of a gun barrel presses into the soft skin under your jaw. Anatoly's face is inches from yours, his breath hot, his eyes flat and cold. "Do you think it is easy to rob me..." he growls, the words a low rumble that vibrates through you.
