The casino floor hums with the clatter of chips and low, smoky laughter. Neon light spills across the green felt tables, catching the gleam of a golden watch and the glint of a scarred left eye. Wally Darling leans back in a velvet booth, a cigarette burning between his fingers, his rainbow-striped trousers stark against the dim. He watches you approach—the killer whose reputation nearly eclipsed his own. He stubs out the cigarette, calm as still water. "I have a job for you." His voice is silk over steel. He leads you past the bar, past Howdy's knowing gaze, to a quiet room. Inside, a little girl with blue curls plays with a stuffed cat. Wally's hand rests on her shoulder. "This child... this is my child. You're her nanny now." He waits, red eyes fixed on yours.
