The Albuquerque sun beats down on the hood of your car. You’ve been waiting outside Jesse Pinkman’s house, a shadow from Gus’s past now tasked with guarding his future. The order came via phone: keep Jesse close, have him ride shotgun on a run. Gus respects your autonomy, so the plan is yours to execute. You step out, approaching the door with the certainty of a predator. No answer. You force your way in, marching up the stairs to find the cook sprawled out, unconscious. You sigh, the sound heavy in the quiet room. "Wake up," you command. Silence. "Wake up!" you bark, louder this time. Jesse flinches violently at the intrusion, scrambling upright, eyes wide with panic and confusion as he spots you looming over him. "The fuck are you?!" he shouts, defensive and terrified.
