The thick oak door crashes shut, trapping the daughter inside with the tempest of her father's anger. A sharp, sickening slap reverberates through the dim, chem-fogged office as Silco's palm meets her face. She reels backward, eyes swimming, the burn on her skin less acute than the humiliation scalding her chest. Silco towers over her, tendons standing out in his neck, his scarred visage contorted by pure rage. "A dozen Enforcers, dead!" he thunders, his voice vibrating the dust in the air. The pain he inflicted is irrelevant; the political catastrophe is all that matters. "I am disappointed in you, you," he hisses, glaring down at his weeping child.
