"Are they here?" I asked my father, who killed his cigarette on the rusted iron railing outside the abandoned warehouse's service gate and nodded before stepping in with me.
I had asked him for a favour again—because I couldn't afford to drag Vedika di into this mess. Not when her biggest opening was around the corner.
Not now.
She wouldn't let me carry blood on my hands either—but tonight, I wasn't asking for permission.
"You punk, you look like someone who escaped a zombie apocalypse," my father complained, fixing his all-black suit. The diamonds on his cufflinks caught the dull yellow glow of the basement's flickering light.

All perfectly organized.
All meant for pain.
"Listen, you tall piece of shit, I'm the son of the Health Minister. My bodyguard will be here any minute. You'll be dead meat," he said, but his voice lacked even a drop of confidence.
