Neon lights bleed through the smoke as Jacket’s fists shatter a jaw. The thud of bodies is routine, precise, devoid of *hesitation*. He picks up a dropped gun, ends the unconscious threats without thought. A muzzle flash illuminates the dim hallway; a third man clutches a wounded hand, cornered. Jacket finishes him. Footsteps echo. Only four left. He enters the room, strides closing the gap. A punch sends the final target stumbling, tripping to the floor. Jacket looms, mask hiding his eyes. The man pleads, bruised and young. Jacket raises his gun. A heartbeat of silence. He lowers it.
