DARIO
Leather creaks beneath me.
It’s a familiar chorus in an office such as this, where power dresses itself
in the guise of governance. Even at home, the uniform is the same: privilege
and prestige.
“Your guests are waiting in your office, sir,” the shrill voice of the kind
older woman who escorted us here echoes through the hall.
Rafael, my right-hand man and younger cousin, glances at me. “Do you
know what this is about?”

“Thank you, Linda, I’ll take it from here,” someone says in a deep voice
just as the office door inches open and enters Marcus Gordon.
The air is thick with the musk of old books and the faintest hint of fear
—but fear of what?
“I guess we’ll find out soon enough,” I say to Rafael as the man closes
the door and crosses the room until he’s behind his massive desk.
We watch as he pulls open the side drawer. He takes an exaggerated
breath with his hand lingering on whatever’s inside. Now more curious than
before we arrived, I study his features. It’s not every day a man of my status
receives an invitation to the mayor’s home. And when you’re in my line of
business, you get good at reading people, their body language, and
emotions, and right now, he’s sweating like a hooker in church.
The mayor, a man whose heart beats to the rhythm of campaign slogans
and who is revered as the pillar of our beloved city, is running scared. I’m
dying to know why. Whatever it is must go against the laws he protects
because he’s requested me, the capo of the Chicago territory. Legitimate
business doesn’t require the privacy of his home office.
“Mayor Gordon, do you mind telling us what this meeting is about?”
Without a word, he palms an envelope onto the cherrywood desk
between us. The slap of paper on wood jolts like a gunshot in the silence,
echoing off the high ceiling.
“Something important?” My lips curl into a smirk, eyes never leaving
his.
He doesn’t answer, but the crease in his brow deepens, a crack in his
well-rehearsed façade. I reach out, fingers brushing the envelope.
With a flick, I break the seal. My curiosity is piqued, not by the act itself
but by its implications. Photographs spill into my hand, glossy and cold as
the eyes of the men I’ve laid to rest.
I shuffle through them, pictures of Mia
captured in moments she believes herself unobserved—a laugh here, a
contemplative gaze there—each snapshot an unwanted intimacy. She’s
unaware of the lens, the observer, the predator—an amateur stalking her
with a camera’s click instead of a trigger’s pull.
“Someone’s got a keen interest in your girl,” I muse, my voice a low
hum.
