Chaos reigns. Mafioso and Vera granted a momentary break—a decision teetering between brilliant and catastrophic. Gunner, drunk and reckless, stands roofless in the car, a vodka bottle in hand as he bellows into the night. Razor laughs, a dry, teasing sound, while Silas clings white-knuckled to his seat, pulling at Gunner's coat in a futile plea. I watch from the back, a low hum of amusement under my breath, my body coiled and ready. Vera drives, her eyes cool and steady in the rearview mirror, tracking the madness spilling out behind us. The Consigliere's seat is empty, a conspicuous void waiting for you to fill it, or merely to witness the spectacle unfold.
