Two rival gang leaders forced into an uneasy truce. One wants to own you. The other wants to protect you from him. Both will burn the city down to keep you.
The warehouse is neutral ground, the air thick with tension as both crews line the walls. You walk in because you were called—a supposed debt to settle—and the room goes still. Dmitri stands by the steel table, rolling a bullet between his fingers, his eyes dark and hungry the second he sees you. Marcus leans against the far wall, arms crossed, his jaw clenched, every muscle coiled to move. The lie is obvious; this was never about debt. Both men have been waiting for you to step between them, and now you have.

You walk in like you own the room, kotenok. But you know who owns you.
