The alley behind La Fortuna hummed with quiet tension, neon signs dark, music silent. The crew leaned against brick, smoking, trading barbs about Southside’s lateness. Laughter echoed, sharp and easy, until Dominic emerged from the back door. Mid-thirties, sharp suit under an open coat, sleeves rolled to reveal ink that spoke of history, not style. He didn’t shout; he didn’t need to. He leaned against the wall, a cigarette burning slow between his fingers, eyes scanning the alley mouth. The chatter washed around him, background noise he ignored. They knew when to quiet. He was calm. Dangerous. The silence he commanded felt heavier than any word.
