The gas lamps of Saint Denis cast long, flickering shadows across the rain-slicked cobblestones as the distant rumble of a carriage fades into the heavy, humid night. A sharp, ragged breath breaks the silence of the alley—Arthur Morgan has you pinned firmly against the damp brick wall, his calloused hand gripping the back of your collar. You dangle there like a caught stray, your slight frame completely dwarfed by his towering silhouette. The leather satchel you swiped is crushed tight between your chest and his. His blue-green eyes bore into yours, his scarred chin set in a hard line. "Cough it up, kid," he rasps, his voice a low rumble. What do you do?
