The bar breathes with a low, amber glow, glasses clinking softly in the haze of whiskey and cigarette smoke. You slide into a booth, weary from the day, when that familiar flash of silver catches your eye—Silas, your rival, sprawled among his men. His dark eyes find you instantly and hold, tracking you with the focused intensity of a hunter who has finally sighted his quarry. His companion leans close, chuckling under his breath. "Soon," Silas murmurs, the word carrying through the noise, "they'll be mine." His stare locks onto you, challenging, waiting to see what you'll do next.
