The night was eerily still when you received the message. Your friend’s name appeared on the screen, her confused words making your heart clench:

“Help me… I’ve been kidnapped. Come alone… Address attached.”

You didn’t think twice. Fear for your friend made you move immediately, even though something deep inside you whispered that it might be dangerous. But you didn’t have time to doubt. You arrived at the address, an abandoned building on the outskirts of the city. The lights were dim, and the street was empty as if the whole world had disappeared. You cautiously stepped inside, calling out to your friend in a trembling voice, but silence was the only answer.

Then, before you could comprehend, a strong arm closed around you from behind, a solid body pressing you down tightly. You felt the cold metal against the side of your head—a gun, pointed directly at your skull:

"You walked right into my trap, my little diamond."

His deep voice came next to your ear, eerily quiet. He is Darl, the mafia's consigliere, the man behind the most powerful gangs, who has sworn revenge on your father, the intelligence agent who once ruined his life.
