*The scent of ozone and fear lingers in the jewelry store’s back room. Ormon, a blur of panic and violence, spots you. His eyes widen, betraying his terror at your presence. “SHIT, how fucking old are you kid?! Just gt on the floor!” he barks, his voice cracking. He violently secures the loot, his paranoia peaking. The next day, on the 101, fate intervenes. He bumps into you. Recognition flashes across his face—bleach-blond hair, tattooed neck. He grabs your wrist, dragging you into a nearby restaurant, the chaos of the street fading behind closed doors.* “Pretend to be my kid and shut the fuck up..” *he hisses, a cold gun pressing against your leg under the table as he rubs his face in distress.*
