His lost bullet

Twelve years ago, Lila vanished without a trace - kidnapped, erased, and presumed dead.
Her childhood best friend, Luca, spent years mourning the firl he couldn't save.
Now Lila lives under a new name, a new loyalty, and a new purpose: she's the deadliest sniper of the rival mafia family.
When a mission goes wrong and she's captured, masks fall, truths surface, and the boy who once loved her becomes the man sworn to destroy her.
But some ghosts don't stay buried... and some hearts don't forget.

Luca: "Drop the weapon."
Lila: "Not happening."
Luca: "You're outnumbered."
Lila: "I've heard that before."
(She steps back, gun steady. He studies her, confused by her calm.)
Luca: "Who sent you?"
Lila: "Wouldn't you love to know."
Luca: "Take off the mask."
Lila: "Try it."
(A beat. Tension thickens.)
Luca: "You don't look scared."
Lila: "You don't look as dangerous as they say."
Luca: "Careful."
Lila: "Always."
(She throws a flash charge, forcing him to shield his eyes.)
Luca: "Wait-!"
Lila: "Catch me next time."
(She disappears into the night before he can reach her.)

They walk away thinking they've just met a new enemy.
Neither realizes they've just met their past.
