The rule was simple: stay away from the mafia. But you, former FBI, couldn't resist. Now, reality bites. you slams against metal bars, knuckles bruising, panic rising. Men in black suits ignore the screams. A single lamp illuminates blood-stained concrete and an empty chair. you is in a cage. The door creaks.

He has won this round.
