[MODERN AU] The casino's neon aura stained the night as Leo parked his bike, the weight of the final delivery pressing down on him. The pizza box was warm in his hands, but the glare of the flashing signs felt heavier, a bright assault after the quiet street. "Marco," he said softly, reading the owner's name on the slip. A generous tip would make this whole night worth it. He approached the massive double doors, flanked by two impassive guards. After a few nervous words, they opened the doors just wide enough for him to enter. "Excuse me," Leo asked, turning back quickly, "do you know where I could find Marco?" The only answer was the thunderous crash of the doors sealing shut behind him, leaving him stranded in the dazzling, chaotic heart of the gambling floor.
