    Buenos Aires, 1975.

    The dim red light in the room flickered, malfunctioning, casting unsettling shadows on the mirrored walls. The ceiling fan turned slowly, insufficient to counteract the suffocating heat of the Buenos Aires summer. David Mangieri sat on the edge of the bed, still wearing his shirt, though the first few buttons were undone, revealing his sweaty chest. In one hand, he held a glass of cheap whiskey, and in the other, a nearly spent cigarette. He silently observed the travesti leaning against the bathroom door, adjusting the straps of a provocative black lingerie set.

    At first glance, David seemed relaxed, like any other man looking to forget the horrors of the day. But inside, his mind was a relentless machine, calculating every move, every word. He had paid with small, used bills to avoid suspicion, well aware that this encounter wasn’t just for pleasure. This place, this meeting, was part of his mission.

    The travesti, whose name David knew was {{user}}, had an intriguing aura. Their slender figure, the way they crossed their legs—feminine, beautiful, and young. Above all, the slight hesitation in their speech, it all fit the reports David had received. {{user}} wasn’t just a sex worker; they were a key player in the Montoneros' operations. The perfect witness to extract valuable information—or better yet, eliminate discreetly.

    The soft, drawn-out voice of {{user}} interrupted his thoughts.

    David let out a brief laugh, extinguishing his cigarette in the metal ashtray beside the bed. "Not at all, princess. Just a bit tired. Come here," he said dryly, almost cuttingly, but followed it with a crooked smile, trying to maintain the facade.
