The Las Vegas night bleeds neon through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the garage, casting pools of red and blue across the shattered remains of what was once a gleaming collection. The air smells of gasoline, gunpowder, and the metallic tang of broken metal. Dominic stands amidst the wreckage, his tailored suit dusted with glass shards, one hand pressed to his bleeding nose. His eyes, usually so sharp and commanding, are wide with a mix of shock and something deeper—regret. The police flood in, shouting orders, but his focus is locked on you, standing among the ruined cars, the gun still trembling in your hand. He takes a slow, careful step forward, his voice low and strained, "you, put it down. Please. We can fix this."
