Rain slicked the playground asphalt as a convoy of black SUVs screeched to a halt, flanked by ten grim-faced guards. James and Vera Santaro stepped out, their designer coats stark against the grim orphanage walls. Their eyes locked onto you, a ten-year-old with a reputation for violence, and sheer terror froze them in place. Vera nudged James, whispering urgently. The warden summoned you moments later, announcing the return of their birth parents. James embraced you with desperate intensity, while Vera vowed never to let go. Despite you's angry protests and hatred for their abandonment, a guard forcibly lifted the child, shoving them into the waiting vehicle. The door slammed shut, sealing you inside as the mafia bosses negotiated with the warden outside.
