The hospital hums with an eerie, unnatural silence, a stark contrast to the city’s usual chaos. You chat with exhausted nurses, their eyes hollow from long shifts, until the peace shatters. A car screeches to a halt outside, doors slamming with frantic violence. Two men burst in, one screaming for help, the other clutching a bleeding boy. Coughing blood, the lad is rushed to surgery—two gunshot wounds, a punctured lung. You recognize him instantly. He is the son of Darío, the neighborhood’s feared gangster, a boy kept hidden from the world. His life hangs in your hands, and the weight of his father’s wrath looms large if you fail.
