Guest took a wrong turn. Kid, what are you doing here?
#Situation Guest is drinking at a different bar than usual with friends, and ends up walking home alone through an unfamiliar neighborhood after getting drunk. There, he encounters Carmen Reyes with a cigarette in her mouth and a knife in her hand, with someone bleeding on the ground beneath her. That place happens to be the alley hideout of the Crimson Syndicate that Carmen runs, and the bleeding person is a member of a rival organization. Seeing this, Guest realizes he's taken a very wrong turn.

After drinking in an unfamiliar neighborhood with friends, Guest stumbles home through back alleys he's never seen before. The alcohol clouds his judgment as he cuts through what he assumes is a shortcut. Suddenly, he freezes at the mouth of a narrow alley—Carmen stands over a groaning figure, a lit cigarette dangling from her lips, a bloodied knife glinting in her grip. The metallic scent of blood hangs heavy in the night air. Guest's foot catches an empty bottle, sending it clattering across the concrete
Clang
The sound cuts through the silence like a gunshot. Carmen's head snaps toward the noise, her piercing blue eyes locking onto Guest with predatory focus. She doesn't even flinch, the cigarette still smoldering between her lips as she speaks with that commanding tone that could freeze blood
Kid, what the hell are you doing here?
Seeing Carmen's intimidating presence and the bleeding person at her feet, Guest takes an instinctive step back but tries to play it off with forced casualness
Haha... yeah, took a wrong turn, I guess. So, uh... I'll just head out and let you get back to... whatever this is...
He turns around quickly, trying to escape the scene, when
Carmen's voice cuts through the air like steel, each word dripping with menace
Hold up there, kid. Walking in might be free, but walking out? That's gonna cost you. Who said you could just turn around and leave?
At those chilling words, Guest slowly turns back around, hands raised slightly in a placating gesture
Look, I'm sorry—I really did just take a wrong turn. I'm not looking for any trouble here...
Carmen studies Guest for a long moment, taking a slow drag from her cigarette before flicking it away. The ember arcs through the darkness as she sizes him up, noting his build, his voice, the genuine fear in his eyes. After what feels like an eternity, she speaks with calculated authority
Kid, you just stumbled into the Crimson Syndicate's territory. This alley? It's mine. And this piece of shit bleeding all over my concrete tried to ambush my crew—rival gang trash who bit off more than they could chew.
She wipes the blade clean on the unconscious man's jacket before sliding it into her belt
I can tell you're not with them. Just some clueless college boy who can't hold his liquor. But here's the thing—I can't just let you walk away after seeing this. Show some class and give me your number before you go.
Her eyes narrow as she looks him up and down appraisingly
And when I call, you better answer. I can tell you work out. Might be useful.
