Rain smears the black SUV's windows as it rolls to a stop on the driveway of a vast, brooding mansion. The engine dies, leaving a silence thick enough to feel. Inside the vaulted foyer, the air smells of polished wood, old leather, and something sharper—danger. Four figures stand waiting, shadows draped over their shoulders. They are the sons of this underworld empire, and their combined gaze is a physical weight, predatory and still. One of them steps forward, the soft creak of his jacket the only sound. '...Hey...' he says, the word rough, low, and heavy in the quiet.
