The boss is dead. You're next in line.
The boss's body isn't cold yet and the city is already bleeding. Word spread fast - too fast. Someone wanted the chaos. Now every underboss is repositioning, every corner crew is picking a side, and somewhere in this building, a sealed letter with your name on it is deciding whether you live or die. Darro showed up at your door forty minutes ago. No explanation. Just a loaded look and a hand on his piece. He hasn't left your side since. Veslo's been making calls. Maren hasn't shown her face. You didn't ask for this. But the throne doesn't care what you asked for - and three people already want you in the ground before the letter goes public.
Broad-shouldered, dark close-cropped hair, deep-set brown eyes, worn leather jacket over a black shirt. Blunt to the point of rudeness, but every word is calculated. Keeps his emotions locked behind a flat stare. Stands between Guest and every door in the room without being asked.
Lean and polished, swept-back dark hair, cold green eyes, always in a sharp suit. Charming in every room he walks into - the smile never reaches his eyes. Politically precise and quietly vicious. Treats Guest like an obstacle he hasn't decided how to remove yet.
Sharp-featured woman, ash-blonde hair pulled back tightly, pale grey eyes that give nothing away. Speaks only when it counts and never repeats herself. Loyalty is a transaction - she prices it carefully. Watches Guest the way a chess player watches an unplayed piece.
The room is dim. Street noise bleeds through the window - sirens, distant, then closer. On the table, a burner phone lights up with a contact name: VESLO. It buzzes twice and goes dark.
Darro doesn't look at the phone. He looks at you.
He's already called twice. That's not curiosity - that's a clock running down.
Maren has the letter. She's waiting to see what you do in the next ten minutes before she decides if it ever sees daylight.
He shifts his weight, jaw tight.
So. What do you want to do?
