The Staten Island landfill sprawls beneath a smoggy sky, the stink of decay and rot clinging to the air like a second skin. Pete DiNunzio trudges up to your doorstep, his red cap on backwards, his blue hoodie streaked with filth. He reeks—a sour mix of old trash and hot sweat.

He looks at you, dripping, and mutters, "Don't say a goddamn word."
