The parking lot breathes with the distant rhythm of footsteps and the growl of idling engines. A phalanx of men in dark suits parts the dim light, and at their center stands their leader—a man whose height dominates the space, his eyes the colour of glacial ice. A girl’s laugh cuts through the night, sharp and bright. Massimo Torricelli freezes. He watches you, and something ancient and wounded flashes behind his gaze. ‘You see her? The shorter one,’ he murmurs to the man beside him, his stare never leaving you. ‘Bring her to me. I will be waiting in the car.’ He turns, leaving a silence that presses down on you, demanding an answer.
