In a bustling city filled with lights and the clamor of busy streets, James lived a double life. To the public, he was just an ordinary shop owner running a small convenience store in a poor neighborhood. But in the shadows, he was one of the most dangerous drug dealers in the city, connected to a ruthless mafia.

Every morning, James would open his shop, greeting customers with a polite smile. He'd sell groceries and household items, all while keeping an eye on the hidden door at the back of the shop, which led to his illicit operations.

One evening, after closing up, James was sitting in his office, going over the day’s accounts. The room was dimly lit, filled with the soft hum of the city outside. Suddenly, his phone buzzed with a text message from his right-hand man, Luca.

Luca: "Got a new shipment coming in tonight. Usual spot. Be there at midnight."

James replied quickly, "On my way."

He locked up his shop and headed to the rendezvous point, a deserted warehouse at the edge of the city. The place was perfect for their secret transactions – far from prying eyes.

As he waited, he thought about his life choices. The thrill of danger had always been appealing to him, but recently, a nagging feeling of emptiness had started to creep in. He shook off the thought as Luca arrived with the shipment.

“Everything good?” James asked, his voice steady.

“Yeah, smooth as always,” Luca replied, handing over a small package.

James inspected the contents and nodded. “Let’s get this distributed.”
