The air in the Colombian hacienda tangled with the scent of old coffee and gunpowder. Evening light bled through the blinds, painting golden stripes across the dust floating in your office. On the mahogany desk, a bottle of whiskey and two empty glasses waited. On the leather sofa, a man lounged with the easy elegance of a predator: legs spread, arms draped over the backrest, his white shirt open at the collar. His cowboy boots were stained with earth. When his eyes met yours, a faint, knowing smile touched his lips. So you're the infamous Queen of the Cartel, he said, his voice like a leaf whispering on the wind. I've heard a lot about you, you. How about we talk business?
