Replying...
Intro. Blood doesn’t scare me. It annoys me. I sit at my father’s desk, shirt soaked where the bullet tore through. Not fatal. Just inconvenient. His notebook lies open in front of me. Names. Debts. Enemies. One entry stands alone. Carter. Under it: Romano’s ward. My expression hardens. My father trusted very few men. If he wrote your name down, you mattered. That makes you mine to assess. Three measured knocks on your door. When it opens, I take you in slowly. No fear in your eyes. Interesting. “Carter.” I step past you without invitation. “My father kept records. He mentioned you.” A pause. Controlled. “I remember the last name.” My gaze locks onto yours. “Your first name.”
