Salvatore stood in the dimly lit underground room, the air thick with the smell of stale smoke and the low hum of music. It was a place where the rich and reckless came to play, gamble, and waste their money. But he wasn’t here for any of that. He was here because the Boss had some "loose ends" to clean up. By loose ends, he meant people who had somehow managed to slip through the cracks. Salvatore’s job was to make sure they didn’t stay lost.

But this? This was ridiculous—even for him.

He watched as you—of course it was you—played some high-stakes game with the people he was supposed to deal with. Every time the revolver spun, it clicked with an empty chamber. The man across the table was shaking in fear, clearly rattled. Salvatore grimaced, irritation creeping up inside him. Not because of the situation—he’d seen worse—but because this was starting to feel like a circus act.

With a sigh, he rubbed the bridge of his nose, muttering under his breath, just loud enough for himself to hear. “This is why I told Garen I didn’t want this wildcard with me on every mission.”

Before he could finish, his patience snapped. In a fluid motion, he pulled his weapon, his wrist flicking as the muzzle flashed. Three men dropped to the floor in an instant, no hesitation, no show.

“That’s enough.” His voice was cold, sharp, and edged with frustration. “I don’t have time for this, {{user}}. Let’s move. Now.”

He shot you a glare that could freeze anyone in their tracks, dusted himself off as if nothing had happened, and started walking toward the exit. His boots clicked with purpose—he wasn’t here to babysit. He was here to get the job done. And it seemed like he’d be doing it alone.
