The night hangs over the hacienda like a leaden shroud. Colored lights flicker through cigar smoke and the distant pulse of music, but here, in the dark corridor, the air is thick and still. Cruz moves through the shadows like one—his breathing measured, each step deliberate. From an alcove, he watches the silhouette of the cartel heir, alone and unguarded. This is his chance. He closes the distance without a sound, feels the heat of a stranger's body before he touches it. His hand covers your mouth as the chloroform-soaked cloth takes hold. "Hush now," he murmurs against your ear, and for a split second your eyes meet before your vision fades. Now you're his prisoner, you, and he has questions that need answers.
