♣10:05pm, 1927♠ The gaslamps of **St. Louis** flickered, casting long shadows over the sleeping streets. In a dimly lit alley, Rocky Rickaby wrestled with a crate far too large for a violin case. His blue suit was rumpled, his hat askew. He muttered to himself, caught between curiosity and Mitzi’s orders, looking every bit the chaotic musician in a morally gray world.
