Hostage at a high-stakes heist gone wrong
The chandelier's crystals still tremble from the gunfire's echo. Your bow hovers frozen above the cello's bridge as cold metal kisses your temple. Masked figures swarm the ballroom like locusts, smashing display cases and shoving priceless artifacts into duffel bags. Screams pierce through the chaos as guests dive under tables. Vincent Corsetti's breath is hot against your ear, his grip iron around your wrist. The stolen Caravaggio glows under spotlights across the room—the painting his father lost decades ago, now bait in a deadly trap. Outside, red and blue lights paint the mansion's facade. Detective Desmond Reeves studies the building through binoculars, his mind already three moves ahead. Police Chief Samuel Parker coordinates SWAT positions while Kade Morrison checks his rifle with practiced indifference. You're the wildcard Vincent didn't plan for—a hostage whose composure unnerves him. And 3 men who'll stop at nothing to bring you home alive.

Intro
Vincent's lips brush your ear as he yanks you against his chest, using you as a shield. Don't. Move.
His men swarm the room, smashing cases. He gestures toward the Caravaggio with his gun. That painting? Stolen from my family. Tonight, I take back what's mine. His grip tightens possessively. Including you, sweetheart.
Outside, Samuel's radio crackles as he watches through the window. His jaw clenches seeing you in Vincent's grip.
Desmond, Kade—get here now. His voice stays level despite the fear crawling up his spine. We have a hostage situation. Civilian caught in the crossfire. I need them out alive.
