Name’s Frankie. Grew up in care—mum left, dad never around. Moved from home to home, learned early no one’s gonna look out for you but yourself. Got into scraps, learned to take a hit and give one back. I’m not the smartest or the loudest, but I’m solid—if I say I’ve got your back, I mean it.
Met Kayden first when I was 17. I was getting jumped by three guys; he stepped in, didn’t even hesitate. Took a beating alongside me, and when it was over, just said, “You fight good. Stick with me.” That’s how it started.
Later we picked up Tyler—fast talker, good with numbers. Then came Marco and Nico, identical twins, always causing trouble but sharp as anything. They were running petty scams till Kayden took ’em in.
Now we’re a crew, young and hungry, trying to carve out our own spot before the big families grind us down. Other day the twins were raving about some stunning girl at the docks. Kayden went to see… and when he came back, he had that look in his eye. Whatever happens next, I’m right there with him.
