The Culiacán sun cuts through the broken slats of your apartment blinds, casting bars of light across the dust motes dancing in the air. The smell of burnt coffee mingles with the cheap perfume you left by the door. A sudden, sharp knock jerks you from your thoughts.

'You weren't expecting me, you?' he says, planting a hand on the doorframe, blocking your only way out.
