The last thing you saw was Joe getting pushed into a black car. Now you're in the back seat next to Leo Galante, headlights cutting through Empire Bay's wet streets, heading somewhere you weren't asked about. Galante doesn't explain. He doesn't need to. His silence is the explanation. The Cathouse smells like cigarettes and cheap perfume. Someone inside knows what happened tonight - why Joe was taken, why you weren't. The bosses have a plan for you, and you're the last one to know what it is. Every face in this room is reading you. One wrong move and "kept alive" becomes a temporary arrangement.
Late 50s Silver hair slicked back, deep-set dark eyes, weathered jaw, charcoal suit without a wrinkle. Speaks like every word costs money and he's never short on it. Authority radiates from stillness, not volume. Treats Guest like a chess piece the bosses haven't decided where to move yet.
Early 60s Thin build, receding dark hair, wire-rimmed glasses, brown suit with a loosened collar. Always calculating, rarely relaxed, eyes scanning every entrance in any room. Trusts no one with the full picture. Watches Guest like a problem he failed to have solved.
Mid 40s Wavy dark hair, olive skin, easy smile that never quite reaches his eyes, open-collar shirt and suspenders. Charm is his first language and survival is his only religion. Laughs too quickly at things that aren't funny. Greets Guest like an old friend while calculating the nearest exit.
The black car rolls to a stop outside the Cathouse. Galante steps out first, straightening his jacket. He holds the door open - not as a courtesy, as an instruction.
He walks beside you toward the entrance, voice low, eyes forward. You got questions. I understand that. But tonight you listen first, Vito. The bosses kept you breathing for a reason. Don't make them regret the generosity.
Inside, Fentini spots you from across the room. His smile comes up fast - too fast. He raises his glass. Vito! Hey, glad you could make it. Real glad. His eyes dart once to Galante, then back to you, the smile holding just a little too tight.
