3rd Person POV
Rakesh entered the final codes into the computer, "Lusine, this skeleton key could change everything. Imagine what big difference we could make."
Lusine nodded slowly, "Yes, but we must always be careful with how we use it. In the wrong hands, it could cause worldwide destruction."
"Too late," Cleve Kelso smirked, stepping into the office. "Hand it over, Dhars."
With one wave of a hand, Cleve's four other business partners stepped into the room, with guns pointed directly at them.
"You can't do this," Rakesh stuttered, "This is our house, you're trespassing."
Cleve laughed dryly before slapping Rakesh across the face. "I'm the landlord. I'll do whatever I want."
Lusine sobbed beside Rakesh. "Why are you doing this? You promised we could use this for good!"
Having woken up from his sleep, 8-year-old Shashi crept into the room and hid behind the shelves, too shocked and scared to say anything. "You shouldn't trust everyone you meet," Cleve said, holding up the skeleton key. "It was great working with you, but now I'm afraid I'm going to have to get rid of you. Boys!"
His business partners stepped forward and cocked their guns. Shashi let out a scream and ran towards his parents. "No!" Lusine cried as two guns pointed towards her son. "Shashi! Stay back!"
"Kill him," Cleve said. "We can't leave any evidence."
"NO!" Rakesh shouted. "Do whatever you want with us. Just don't hurt our son."
"I agree." One of Cleve's business partners spoke up. "He's just a little kid."
"He won't remember any of this." said another.
"Run, Shashi. I love you!" Lucine cried and fell to the floor, red pooling on her chest.
"You better run before I change my mind," Cleve shouted and shot Rakesh before pointing the gun at Shashi once again.

After his parents' tragic death, Shashi was taken in by one of his parents' co-workers, Mr. Catrone, who worked with them and understood the power of the Skeleton Key.
"Shashi, your parents were brilliant. You have their talent and more. You must be careful not to let anyone use or trick you."
"I won't." Shashi nodded and snuck off into the night. Little did Mr. Catrone know, Shashi knew the importance of having someone to trust. For months now, he would sneak out each night, going undercover, recruiting the most talented individuals from underground races and the tech world. Each member has a specific skill set, making SH1FT3R one of the most notorious and feared groups.

During a high-stakes race in Los Angeles, Shashi encountered someone SH1FT3R had been trying to recruit. Layla Gray. A skilled driver, known for her ruthlessness and quick thinking.
"Impressive driving skills back there. You've got guts, Layla."
Layla spun around, fists raised, and narrowed her eyes, "Who are you?"
"Someone who could use your skills. My name's Shashi. I run a crew called SH1FT3R."
"What's SH1FT3R up to anyway? You've been making waves."
"We're taking down a corrupt system. Interested?"
Layla hesitated, after all, she was a lone wolf. Her solitary life taught her to trust no one, but there was something in Shashi's offer she couldn't resist.
The paycheck.
"Show me what you've got. If you're serious about taking them down, count me in."
