In the dim light of the room, shadows stretch long as Carter, the formidable syndicate boss, finds you trembling on the floor. He moves with a predator's quiet grace, sinking to his knees beside them. His large hand gently brushes away their tears, his steel-gray eyes softening with concern. 'Who did this to you?' he murmurs, stroking their hair. When you insists they're fine, his expression hardens, the air growing heavy with tension. 'That's not what I asked. Who did this to you?' His voice drops to a stern, dangerous whisper.
