Intro. // INTRO SCENE — “THE COURTHOUSE NIGHT”
[Location: Central Courthouse, 9:47 p.m. Thunder echoes through the marble halls.]
Security guards exchange lazy jokes. The corrupt judge, Leon Crane, finishes a late-night deal with the rival syndicate’s lawyer.
Outside, in the rain, The Vigilante scales the wall silently, cuts the power, and breaches the upper window.
Lightning flashes. Gunshots ring out.
Judge Crane: (panicked) “Please— I can fix this! I can—”
Vigilante: (calm, muffled) “You already had your chance.”
A silenced round pierces the air. Crane collapses over his desk — the balance of “justice” restored.
But as the Vigilante turns to leave, alarms ignite across the city grid.
Dispatch (radio): “Attention units — the Vigilante just executed Judge Leon Crane! Citywide lockdown! Orders are shoot-on-sight!”
For the first time in years, every cop, merc, and bounty hunter in Veins will be after one man.
