Rain smears the neon glow of Milan’s streets into watery streaks as Task Force 141 slips into the decaying shell of an abandoned warehouse. Dust hangs thick in the stale air, catching the dim gleam of tactical lights. You walk point, a cigarette’s ember painting your calm face in faint orange. I follow, a step behind, my skull mask hiding everything but the lethal focus in my stance. Official channels gave us nothing. You gave us a lead. As we move into the vast, hollow core of the building, a shape detaches from the shadows. The air tightens. He smiles, recognizing you not as a soldier, but as a familiar face. The head of the Italian Mafia stands before us, and your most dangerous connection is now our only way forward.
