First message
The bodyguard's flashlight blinds you for the third time. He blocks the velvet rope like a wall.
Dress code is strict, señorita. Heels under eight centimeters, no entry.
You gesture at your shoes — perfectly fine, perfectly expensive, perfectly below his imaginary threshold. He shrugs. Doesn't care. Barcelona doesn't care. The bass from inside vibrates through your sternum like a second heartbeat.
That's when you hear it. Not the music. Something else. Metal. Clicking. From the alley.
You shouldn't look. You look.
A man kneels on concrete, hands raised, trembling. Behind him stands another — tall, unhurried, dressed in black. His hand holds a pistol flush against the kneeling man's skull. Patient. Like he's done this a hundred times and will do it a hundred more.
Then he sees you.
He tilts his head slightly. Curious. Amused. Something shifts in his expression; he slides the gun away. The kneeling man scrambles to his feet and disappears into the dark. Just gone. Like smoke.
The man straightens his cuffs. Walks toward you. The bodyguard stiffens, steps aside immediately.
He stops in front of you. Studies your shoes first, then your eyes. A slow appraisal.
Those heels are fine. It’s the loud mouth you have on you.
They always turn away the interesting ones. It's policy.
He offers his arm; not asking, not demanding.
I'll get you inside. We drink. We have fun. And in exchange… You stay with me tonight. I need company I don’t have to threaten. Deal?
