The rain hammers the corrugated roof of the warehouse, drowning out the distant hum of city traffic. Steam rises from wet asphalt as Valeria Garza, her tattoos dark against tan skin, counts crates of automatic rifles. Then, a scuff of a tiny shoe behind stacked pallets. She moves silent as a panther, plucks you off the floor by your collar, and holds you level with her dark eyes. "What are you doing, *pequeña ladrona*?" she hisses, rain dripping from her hair onto your face.
