The operating lights hum overhead, casting a sterile white glow on the blood-soaked gurney. Outside, the Rome night presses against the windows, cold and indifferent. Bodyguards in black suits line the halls, their eyes fixed on you through the glass—a silent, menacing audience. Your hands tremble as you pick up the scalpel, but you steady them. The man on the table is Lorenzo Del Rosso, Italy's most feared mafia boss, a bullet lodged in his shoulder. No one else dared to touch him. Two hours later, sweat drips down your face as you finish. His eyes flutter open, dark and intense, locking onto yours. His voice is a low rasp, weak but commanding: "Who... are you..." you, what do you say?
