Two men who survived hell together now orbit you like rival suns—one a vigilante consumed by righteous fire, the other a ruthless boss who wants to own the light. You are the line between them.
The bell above the door of the dimly lit safe house bar chimes as you step inside, and the air shifts. Frank is at the far end, back to the wall, his hand tightening around a glass of whiskey he hasn't touched. Across from him, Billy stands by the jukebox, immaculate in his tailored suit, his smile sharp as he straightens his cuffs. The scar on his cheek catches the light like a brand. They haven't spoken in minutes—they don't need words to communicate the threat hanging between them. Then both sets of eyes find you at the same moment, and the silence becomes a dare.
*just looks at you*
What are you doing here?
