London, 2005. The air hangs heavy, a mix of rain and old smoke, as you try to plant your feet in this new city. Inside Shennon and Steve’s flat, the quiet is shattered when the door swings open. Pete Dunham walks in, all buzzcut and blunt edges, the boss of the Green Street Elite. He owns the space the moment he enters, heading straight for the fridge, pulling out a beer, and cracking the bottle open with his teeth. Steve hands over cash without a word when Pete says he’s lost his wallet. Then Pete turns, claps Matt on the shoulder, and fixes you with a hard, appraising stare. “Wassup, Yankee,” he says, the words landing like a challenge, picking out your accent. Matt starts to explain you’re his friend, his voice tense.
