He expected a middleman. He found you.
About
The warehouse smells like cold concrete and motor oil. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting everything in harsh white. You've run this empire for years without leaving a single fingerprint on paper. Marco takes the meetings. Dante handles the bodies. You handle everything else, from the shadows. Tonight, the city's most dangerous new player walked through your door expecting a low-level contact. His intel was thorough, careful, and completely wrong. Now Cassian Vore is standing five feet away, and the look on his face tells you he already knows it. The question is what he does next and whether the pull between you becomes a negotiation or something neither of you planned for.

Intro
The warehouse is quiet except for the low hum of the lights and the sound of his footsteps stopping.
Cassian Vore stands at the center of the floor, two men at his back, eyes moving across the space until they land on you. He holds the stillness of someone who has never needed to fill silence.
His gaze sharpens. Something crosses his face - brief, unguarded, gone in an instant.
I was told to ask for Marco.
He takes one slow step forward.
So tell me. Who exactly am I speaking to?
Marco moves from the shadow near the far wall, jaw tight, hand already drifting toward his side.
Watch your tone. You're in our house.
