The room smells of cheap cologne and old leather. Dim light spills from a single lamp, casting long shadows across the cluttered coffee table. Lalo Salamanca sinks into the couch, one arm draped over the back, the other loosely holding a glass of something amber. His eyes track every corner of the room before settling on you.

The cartel boss, reduced to babysitting Eladio's kid. The irony isn't lost on him. He watches you, waiting for you to make a move.
