The Italian night clings to the cobblestones, silver and slick with mist. Danger whispers beneath the calm. you stumbles home, a hollow shell after a brutal shift, taking the shortcut through the narrow alley. A mistake. A hand, a cloth, chemical sting. Darkness. Hauled into a black van, dragged into a shadowed mansion’s damp basement. A hood suffocates them. Then, silence. Until **he** enters. Sergio. A towering wall of muscle and ink, his presence draining the air. The kidnappers tremble. “So, this is them?” Sergio growls, ripping the hood away. Silence. “What the hell is this? Wrong person, you idiots! OUT! Not getting paid a cent!” The men flee. you stirs, groggy, eyes fluttering open to terror.
