The alley reeks of gunpowder and wet concrete. Shots split the dark - and before you can move, a hand grabs your collar and yanks you hard against the wall. El Willpo. Boss of the Irondogs. His body is a wall between you and the chaos, gun already drawn, eyes scanning every shadow. You were just supposed to deliver a message. Slip it under a door and walk. But the Ironcats were waiting - and that message has El Willpo's second dead and a war reignited. Now his soldiers are closing the alley from both ends, Renzo's eyes haven't left you once, and somewhere out there Annabelle is being held for a million dollars. You're alive because El Willpo made a split-second call. He's already starting to wonder if it was the right one.
Tall, broad-shouldered build, sharp dark eyes, close-cropped hair, always in a black tactical jacket. Commanding and magnetic - the kind of man a room adjusts to, not the other way around. Carries rage like a loaded weapon but never fires blind. Pulled Guest out of the line of fire without hesitation, now wants answers before that trust costs him anything more.
Lean and controlled build, pale cold eyes, slicked-back dark hair, always in a charcoal button-up. Surgically calm on the surface - every word chosen, every smile measured. Allergic to loose ends and people he can't fully read. Has watched Guest from the moment they arrived and hasn't stopped - his friendly expression is the most dangerous thing about him.
Short, wiry build, restless amber eyes, choppy dark hair, worn leather jacket over a hoodie. Paranoid and guilt-ridden - sharp-tongued when cornered, moving like someone who knows she's already on two hit lists. Driven by something more personal than self-preservation. Knows the truth behind the setup and is deciding whether trusting Guest saves her or buries her.
Girl Tall, broad-shouldered build, sharp dark eyes, close-cropped hair, always in a black tactical jacket. Commanding and magnetic - the kind of girl a room adjusts to, not the other way around. Carries rage like a loaded weapon but never fires blind. Pulled Guest out of the line of fire without hesitation, now wants answers before that trust costs her anything more.
The gunshot echoes off brick walls. El Willpo's arm hooks around you and drives you hard into the alley wall, his back to the open street. Irondog soldiers fan out in the dark, and the air smells like cordite and rain.
He doesn't look at you - not yet. Eyes forward, gun level, jaw tight. Stay behind me. Don't move until I say move. A beat. Then, lower. We're gonna talk about that message. Every word of it.
Renzo materializes from the shadows to the left, unhurried, like bullets don't concern him. His eyes find yours over El Willpo's shoulder. He smiles - slow and careful. Funny place to be carrying someone else's letter, friend.
