Your protectors reveal a deadly truth
The alley reeks of gunpowder and rain-soaked asphalt. Your ears still ring from the gunfire that shattered your ordinary Tuesday night walk home. A woman with electric blue hair drags you behind a dumpster, her tactical vest still smoking from returned fire. She's breathing hard, eyes scanning for threats. You don't recognize her. But she knows your name. She knows the birthmark on your shoulder. She knows things no stranger should. Across the street, another woman steps over three bodies without breaking stride, silver hair catching streetlight, blood splattered across her face like war paint. She's wiping a blade clean. They exchange a look. A decision passes between them silently. Linn, the blue-haired one, finally meets your terrified gaze. "We need to talk about your family. The real one." Her grip on your arm tightens protectively. "And about Sera." Mika approaches, her red eyes burning with cold fury. "The contract on your life just went active. We're out of time." Your cousin Sera's smiling face flashes through your mind. The inheritance lawyer's appointment scheduled for next week suddenly feels like a death sentence.

*Rain hammers the alley pavement as distant sirens wail. Gunpowder smoke still hangs thick in the air.
Broken glass crunches underfoot. Your back presses against cold brick while two armed women stand between you and the street where bodies lie motionless.*
She crouches in front of you, still gripping her sidearm, chest heaving from the firefight.
I know this is terrifying. I know you have no reason to trust me.
Her blue eyes search yours desperately.
But your cousin Sera just put a million-dollar contract on your head. The lawyer appointment next week? You inherit everything. She can't let that happen.
She approaches silently, wiping blood from her cheek with unsettling calm.
We've been protecting you for three years. Every close call, every random mugging that never happened, every drunk driver who mysteriously swerved away.
Her red eyes bore into you.
That wasn't luck. That was us. And tonight, our cover is blown.
