01:00My daughter's not all there, she barely speaks
01:02My mother was more direct
01:04Than marry her to one of our richer allies
01:06They can replace whatever she tears apart
01:08I said nothing
01:09I dismantled broken phones in the basement all day
01:12Next came computers
01:14Then the SIG father kept in his safe
01:16I went over its heart seven times
01:18Until I could rebuild it blindfolded
01:19It was one of the few hobbies I had carried through two lives
01:23Don Moretti
01:23I think someone else should be my fiancé
01:25My fiancé Adrienne Vail said
01:27What exactly do you mean, Adrienne?
01:29Your father came here himself to arrange this marriage
01:31Please do not be angry, Don Moretti
01:34Wendt is sheltered
01:35That would be fine in a normal family
01:37But the coast is unstable
01:38Every faction is waiting to strike
01:40My wife must stand beside me
01:41She must command a room and run our business
01:44Handle foreign contracts
01:45Wendt barely speaks
01:47How can she handle the Razor Gang?
01:49Serena lowered her head
01:50Camille scoffed
01:51Only Vivian flushed
01:52She had just returned from the business negotiations
01:55Vivian and I have fallen for each other through business dealings
01:57If you agree
01:58The Vail family will offer double the marriage settlement for Vivian's hand
02:02Mother looked at me
02:03Adrienne, Weck is your fiancé
02:05She just doesn't like to talk
02:06She has a good heart
02:07Mrs. Merida
02:08A good heart cannot manage Vail holding
02:11He toured me
02:12Wendt
02:13Put that dirty thing down
02:14He pulled the screwdriver from my hand
02:15Look at you
02:16You are filthy
02:17These computers may be broken
02:18But they're not toys for your tantrums
02:20I know it hurts
02:21But you know your place, right?
02:23I finally looked up at him
02:26Vivian is better suited to me
02:27Be good, Wendt
02:28Go back to the basement and play with your old phones
02:31I'll send you crates of old Barbie dolls
02:32Tear them apart all you want
02:34I couldn't force out a word
02:35Not because I couldn't speak
02:36Because he disgusted me
02:38In my previous life, I had been a top weapons engineer
02:40I spent 20 years in a lab
02:42Metal and cold data were my world
02:44In this life, I only wanted to work quietly with my hands
02:47But Adrian insisted on dressing his selfishness up as duty
02:51Enough
02:53Wendt cannot carry this alliance
02:56Vivian will take her place
02:58Thank you, Don Moretti
03:00I picked up the screw and put it back into the old computer
03:03No one knew it now intercepted all Mafia's encrypted traffic
03:06Adrian Vail, today you crushed the last bit of patience I have
03:09The broken engagement caused barely a ripple in the Moretti family
03:12No one believed I had been hurt
03:14To them, a fool like me could not understand humiliation
03:17Why comfort someone too stupid to feel ashamed
03:19As Autumn settled over Vesper Island
03:22Mother sighed more often whenever she found me in the basement
03:25I was always crouched over another machine
03:27Surrounded by loose screws and open casings
03:30One afternoon, Mother called me to the smaller sitting room
03:33Wendt, come here
03:35Your father was right
03:36The Vail family was too much for you
03:37I had our attorney look into several families
03:40The man in it was middle-aged and heavy around the waist
03:42This is Gordon Mercer
03:44He owns Mercer Demolition and Recycling
03:46He's older than you
03:47His wife passed away and he has a daughter
03:48But he's very wealthy
03:50You love tearing things apart
03:51But he can easily afford your habit
03:53He won't mind that you're too quiet
03:55Fourth Moretti daughter would end up with a crude, wealthy widower
03:58It was almost funny
03:59But Mother was trying to protect me
04:01She feared I'd grow old alone
04:03So money was the only security she could offer
04:05A soft voice came from the doorway
04:07Mrs. Moretti, Gordon Mercer looks harmless enough
04:10I knew that voice, Adrien Vale
04:11He stood, Vivian walked beside him
04:13My former fiancé had come to help choose my next husband
04:15He glanced at Gordon's photograph
04:17Mercer is only a businessman
04:18He's clean and predictable
04:20He'll treat Wendt like a queen
04:21His scrap yards are full of old machines
04:23She can tear things apart all day
04:24Isn't that exactly what she wants?
04:26Vivian tugged at his sleeve
04:28Adrien, don't tease her
04:29She doesn't understand marriage
04:31I'm planning her future
04:32This was custom made in Geneva
04:34There's only one
04:34Vivian tore away the wrapping
04:39Wendt, step back
04:40This is delicate
04:41If you break it, repairs will be a problem
04:42I just don't want you to hurt yourself
04:44Go to the basement, Wendt
04:45We're done here
04:46I obeyed
04:47I shut the basement door
04:48This was my kingdom
04:49At the back
04:50I moved a crate of waterproof gun case lay beneath it
04:52Inside was Father's black cig
04:54I had taken it from his safe
04:55And replaced it with a replica of the same weight
04:57No guard had noticed
04:58Neither had Father
05:00I closed my eyes
05:01My fingers passed over the barrel, trigger, and magazine
05:04Click
05:04Click in under ten seconds
05:06The entire pistol lay in pieces before me
05:08I touched every part seven times
05:09Then I rebuilt it without opening my eyes
05:12I racked the slide
05:13The parts locked together with a clean metallic snap
05:15It sounded ten thousand times better than Adrien's jewelry box
05:18Gordon Mercer?
05:19Adrien Vale?
05:20They had no idea
05:21A wolf mistaken for a dog was still a wolf
05:23Days passed
05:24Gordon seemed pleased with the match
05:25Every few days he sent more gaudy designer clothes and handbags covered in logos
05:29Every time Gordon came by
05:31Adrien happened to be there too
05:33He was Vivian's fiancee
05:34Yet he acted as if the entire Meretti estate answered to him
05:37One afternoon the hall felt unusually tense
05:39Vivian close to tears
05:40The necklace Adrien gave me is locked inside
05:43He expects me to wear it to tomorrow's gala
05:45Camille rolled her eyes
05:46It's a box
05:47If it's broken, Adrien can buy another
05:49You don't understand
05:51There's an important letter from Adrien's side
05:53Now the lid is jammed and I can't open it
05:56I had just washed my hands and was heading to the kitchen for food
05:59One look told me what was wrong
06:00The spring was wound too tight and had jammed the main gear
06:03What are you staring at?
06:05Stay away
06:06If you break this, you could never afford to replace it
06:08I ignored her
06:09I pressed two fingers against a hidden knot under the base
06:12My thumb flipped the winding key twice
06:14The lid sprang open
06:15Both my sisters stared at me
06:17The front doors opened
06:18Adrien walked in
06:19What happened?
06:20The box jammed
06:21I thought it was ruined
06:22You got lucky, Wendt
06:24Don't mistake it for skill
06:25One wrong move ruined the whole mechanism
06:28You were lucky this time
06:30Lock it up from now on
06:31Some people don't know when to keep their hands off
06:33I watched him play the perfect gentleman
06:35Camille laughed behind him
06:36Exactly
06:36You pressed one button and got lucky
06:38Go back to the basement and play with your junk
06:40Stop embarrassing yourself
06:41Adrien took out a cheap Christmas snow globe
06:44It was the cheapest thing a gift shop could sell
06:45Here, Wendt
06:47I saw this and thought of you
06:48Take it
06:49Leave your sister's things alone
06:50What?
06:51You don't like it?
06:52Be grateful, Wendt
06:54Opening something by accident doesn't make it yours
06:56I looked down at the cheap toy
06:57Then I squeezed
06:58The glass shattered in my palm
07:00A sharp piece of glass sliced my skin
07:02Adrien frowned
07:03Are you hurting yourself for attention?
07:05That's childish
07:06He took Vivian's hand and left her upstairs
07:08Come on
07:08Don't let her ruin your night
07:10I stood where they left me
07:11I wrapped my palm childish
07:13On Vesper Island
07:14Real cruelty had not even begun
07:17Night settled over Vesper Island
07:19I sat on the steps outside the basement
07:20Turning father's cig between my fingers
07:22A formal dinner was underway
07:23Tonight was Adrien and Vivian's official engagement party
07:26Father had invited allied dons, city officials, and court executives
07:30Gordon was there too after dinner
07:32He planned to finalize my match with father
07:34I was not invited
07:35Adrien had told mother
07:36Whack doesn't handle crowds
07:38She might upset our guests
07:40Let her stay downstairs
07:41Mother agreed
07:42Security door to the main ring was locked
07:44Once again
07:45My family shut me out of their polished world
07:47A muffled shot came from the far side of the estate
07:50Not fireworks
07:51Suppressed rifle fire
07:52Memories from my last life took over
07:54I tucked the cig behind my back
07:57Climbed through the basement service window
07:59Fire rose above the mirror
08:01Razorgangs, they're inside
08:03I moved toward the hall
08:04More than half our guards lay dead or bleeding
08:06Every security screen was black
08:08The electronic gates stood open
08:10This attack had been planned
08:11I looked through a dozen armed Razorgangs
08:14Razorgang boss Rocco led them
08:16Don Moretti, been a while
08:18You wiped out three of my crews
08:19Tonight, I collect
08:21Touch my family and every Moretti soldier on this coast will hunt you down
08:25Your soldiers are tied up on the mainland
08:27No one's coming
08:28Adrien crouched nearby
08:29Held Vivian behind him
08:31But his body would not stop shaking
08:33Gordon was under a sofa
08:34Tending to be dead
08:35Rocco stopped in front of Adrien
08:37The veil hair
08:38Fancy
08:39Name your price
08:41Ten million cash
08:43Vivian screamed and reached for him
08:45Don Moretti, I hear you have four daughters
08:47You're all gonna die now
08:49One of you can fuck with me first
08:52Mother stepped forward
08:53Take the money
08:54Leave my daughters alone
08:55His hand reached for Vivian
08:56I stepped out of the shadows at the turn of the staircase
08:59The veil head turned
09:00I raised father's Sig Rocco did not even turn around
09:03Some little bitch thinks she can scare me?
09:08Anyone else want to choose a Moretti daughter?
09:11The Razorgangs froze
09:12How had the quiet Moretti daughter killed the Razorgang boss with one shot?
09:16Boss
09:16She killed the boss
09:18The Razorgang finally snapped out of her
09:20You bitch
09:21I'll kill ya
09:24I fired before he was killed
09:25The bullet tore through his wrist
09:29I fired three more times without pausing
09:31The Razorgangs reached for the weapons
09:34In a room this tight
09:35Father Sig was all I needed
09:37Listen
09:37Raise
09:38Fire
09:38My body remembered every step
09:52Spread out
09:53Find cover
09:54The remaining Razorgangs scrambled behind sofas and stone columns
09:57I used the staircase railing as cover
09:59Dropped the empty magazine and snapped in a spare
10:02Adrian clutched his stomach and looked up through his crooked gold-rimmed glasses
10:06He knew the silent girl who was in the basement with broken machines
10:09I did not know this woman
10:12How many were outside?
10:17Thirty men
10:18A direct fight would get us surrounded
10:22Across the hall, a Razorgang crouched behind a sofa
10:25He slowly leaned out, searching for me
10:27I picked up a shard of crystal and flew toward the opposite wall
10:35Struck the stone and broke with a sharp crack
10:37A Razorgang turned toward the sound
10:39I rose from behind the cover and fired
10:42A bullet struck his head
10:43He dropped before he could turn back
10:45His weapon slipped away
10:48When?
10:51The Razorgangs were vicious
10:53But they had no discipline
10:54A son fired about a gun
10:56Another left half his body exposed behind a column
10:58Two more shouted over each other
11:00Giving away their positions
11:09Locked and swallowed the hall
11:10The women screamed
11:13Shut up!
11:14Keep screaming if you want to die
11:19Use your light!
11:20Attacked a big beam snapped on in the far corner
11:23It swept across the floor
11:24Searching for me
11:25The bright source gave away the Razorgang holding it
11:27I raised the Slig and fired
11:29The Razorgang sprung across the ceiling
11:31Struck the floor and went dark
11:32Kill the light!
11:34She can see us!
11:36I raised the Slig and fired
11:37The Razorgang turned into the sofa
11:41And sent dragons of stone and wood across the hall
11:44I was already somewhere else
11:46Each mother flash gave me another silhouette
11:48I turned toward every shout
11:49My hand closed around a broken burner phone
11:52I had taken it apart that afternoon
11:54I had left the wiring exposed
11:56And programmed the timer to beep faster and faster
11:58One of them caught it by instinct
12:02What is this?
12:04The phone began to beep
12:05The first beep split the darkness
12:07And the second followed
12:08Then the third
12:09It's a bomb!
12:11The Razorgang closed the window
12:12Many flashed into circles
12:14And one of the others
12:15They scrambled from the sound
12:16Their formation collapsed
12:19The fire began the phone to keep them
12:20They fired at it from the shadows
12:22They fired every flash and every frightened breath
12:25They fired at it from the sound
12:31The last five minutes left the rocket fell
12:34The gunshot
12:35Only wounded men remained conscious
12:37Their groans mixed with the harsh electronic heaping
12:39Of an ordinary broken phone
12:41I crossed the hall and raised the main switch
12:43Bodies laid between shattered crystal
12:45Overturned chairs and pools of blood
12:47I stood in the middle of them
12:49With father's empty SIG in my hand
12:50Mother held my sisters close
12:52Gordon stared from beneath the sofa
12:56I walked through the bodies toward father
13:04You're safe now, father
13:07When you...
13:08Nothing else came out
13:10I turned to Adrian
13:11Dust and blood covered his tailored gray suit
13:13His gold-rimmed glasses hung crooked across his face
13:17Adrian
13:18Still think I belong in Mercer's scrapyard
13:20Pulling apart junk
13:21His face drained of color
13:22Then darkened
13:23But his eyes dropped to the gun
13:25And he swallowed whatever lecture
13:26From coming
13:29Who are you?
13:31Gordon crawled out from under the sofa
13:32Shaking so hard
13:33He could barely stand
13:36Don Moretti
13:37Is that really your fourth daughter?
13:38Father looked at the bodies
13:39Then at me
13:44Who taught you to shoot?
13:48Go to the house
13:50Gunfire hands
13:51One of our guards
13:56They're coming in
13:57The women began crying again
13:58Mother crossed the hall
13:59And pulled me into her arms
14:02Went
14:04You could have been killed
14:08Mother, this isn't over
14:10Another burst of gunfire
14:12Rattled and shattered windows
14:13I moved among the fallen razor gangs
14:15And searched them
14:15I took every usable handgun
14:17Every loaded magazine
14:18Every loose ground I could find
14:20Mother watched my hands work
14:22She did not try to stop me again
14:24Behind her
14:25Adrian pushed himself upright
14:26Against the wall
14:27He straightened his glasses
14:28And brushed dust from his coat
14:32Don Moretti
14:33We can't hold them at this rate
14:37Send someone out to negotiate
14:40The Vales will pay whatever it takes
14:42Cash
14:43Tonight
14:44He spoke as though money
14:45Had restored his authority
14:47They came for money
14:50Give them enough
14:50And they'll leave
14:51It is the only sensible choice
14:54Shut up
14:55Adrian stopped
14:56The whole family heard me dismiss
14:59His face tightened
15:00He looked at me
15:01As if I had disgraced him
15:02In front of everyone
15:05Rin
15:06I know you helped us tonight
15:09But that doesn't mean
15:10You understand
15:11What happens next
15:14These men came for money
15:15And women
15:16You killed their leader
15:18Now they have nothing to lose
15:21You got lucky in this room
15:23You killed a few men
15:24Who underestimated you
15:28There are dozens more outside
15:30You can't kill all of them
15:32I kept checking the weapons
15:33I had taken from the razor games
15:37Put the gun down
15:38And let me handle this
15:39Negotiation is our best chance
15:41His voice returned to that patient
15:43Patronizing rhythm
15:44That he always used with me
15:46Give me the cig, Rin
15:48It's too dangerous for you
15:52Then he reached for my gun
15:53My hands stopped
15:54I looked at Adrian's
15:55Outstretched fingers
15:57Then I gripped the cig by the barrel
15:59And slammed the butt
15:59Into the column
16:00Beside his head
16:11Touch it again
16:14And I'll put a hole in your head
16:16He stared at the shattered panel
16:18His throat moved
16:19But no words came
16:20I stepped toward him
16:21He stepped back
16:25You want to negotiate with men
16:26Who hacked our security system
16:28Stormed our home
16:30And put a gun to father's head
16:34You think your money can fix everything
16:35It can't
16:37Rocco is dead
16:41If they get inside
16:42They'll kill every body
16:43Into the sea
16:44How many guards can still fight?
16:48Twelve
16:49That's all we have
16:50Twelve is enough
16:52I tossed two recovered handguns
16:54To the nearest of ours
16:59Tell everyone in the courtyard
17:00To fall back
17:02Put them along the second floor
17:03Corridored
17:07Father
17:07You want us to abandon
17:10The front court?
17:11We already lost it
17:12Gunfire
17:13Bullet punch through the broken doors
17:15And bury itself in the wall
17:17But if they reach the house
17:19No
17:21Listen
17:22This building
17:23Is reinforced concrete
17:25Their rifles won't get through the walls
17:28The courtyard gives our men
17:29Nowhere to hide
17:30Two guards
17:31Back toward the entrance
17:32The line outside
17:35Is breaking
17:36Keep them out there
17:37And they'll die one at a time
17:38Or control every angle
17:42Tonight
17:43He gave me a short nod
17:44One of the guards
17:44Raised his radio
17:45And called the retreat
17:46Leave the front doors open
17:47Let the razor gangs come in
17:49Everyone stared at me
17:50I crossed to an old intercom panel
17:52Inside the hall cabinet
17:53I had opened it days earlier
17:55And never put the cover back
17:56I pulled several lengths
17:57Of insulated copper wire
17:58From inside
18:01What are you doing?
18:03I ignored her
18:03And knelt near the entrance
18:04The razor gangs
18:06Had carried fragmentation remains
18:07I took three from the weapons
18:09I had recovered
18:10And linked them to a thin tripwire
18:11Across the dark doorway
18:12The trap was created
18:13But every part would work
18:15It only had to work once
18:16And once would be enough
18:18This is insane
18:21You think you can fight a war with junk?
18:25This isn't one of your basement games?
18:27I finished the trap without looking at him
18:30If you want to live
18:31Stay quiet
18:34You still think negotiation will save us?
18:37Go outside
18:38Find out whether they want your money
18:41Or your head
18:44The hall stayed silent
18:45Not one person followed Adrian's plan
18:48Even Adrian could only glare at me
18:50Before joining Gordon and the women
18:51On their way to the basement
18:52I climbed to the second floor
18:54Flames lit the courtyard below
18:56The razor gangs poured through the abandoned gate
18:58Shouting as they ran toward the gate
19:02Miss Wendt?
19:03Put your best shooters at the windows
19:05And the turn of the stairs
19:06Do not fire until they enter the doorway
19:08The courtyard is gone
19:10Don Moretti ordered us to hold the courtyard
19:12I give the orders here now
19:14He looked into my eyes
19:15Then signaled his men into position
19:20Below us
19:21The razor gangs found no resistance
19:23They cheered
19:24Fight
19:24Certain Morettis had surrendered
19:28The first group charged through the open doors
19:32Kill the men!
19:33Take the women!
19:34The grenades detonated inside the mirror
19:37The blast shook the floor
19:39Smoke
19:40Shattered wood
19:41And fragments filled the hole
19:43Fire
19:43The guards pulled their triggers
19:45Gunfire crossed from the second floor windows to the stairwell
19:48Covering the entrance on both sides
19:50The razor gangs below had no cover
19:52They fell across the shattered doorway
19:54Before they understood where the shots were coming from
19:57Ambush!
19:58The survivors stumbled back into the courtyard
20:00They abandoned their dead and hid behind stone planters and damaged vehicles
20:04Bullets struck the concrete walls and blue sparks across the windows
20:08They're pinned down
20:11Not for long
20:12Movement near the outer wall caught my eye
20:14Two of the razor gangs dragged a heavy weapon into position near the outer gate
20:17A third dropped behind it and fed a belt of ammunition into the receiver
20:22Dan followed my stare
20:23The color left his face
20:27What is that?
20:29An M249
20:30Once it opened fire
20:31No guard would be able to stay near a window
20:33The razor gangs would cross the courtyard and reach the stairs within minutes
20:39Father Sid could not reach that far with no accuracy
20:41I looked toward the end of the corridor
20:43An engraved hunting rifle stood behind glass
20:46Adrian had given it to Vivian as part of their engagement display
20:49It was expensive, beautiful and supposedly decorative
20:53Bring me that rifle
20:56That thing?
20:58Now
21:06The rifle was heavier than it looked
21:07Its barrel was thick and the action was still intact
21:10But someone had disabled the firing mechanism before putting it on display
21:14My fingers moved through the mechanism without hesitation
21:17Every part settled where it belonged at once
21:19And took several captured rounds from my pocket
21:22I reshaped the casing and heated the round
21:24Less than 30 seconds passed
21:26Outside, the M249 gunner finished loading the ammunition belt
21:32Can that thing even fire?
21:36I drew one slow breath
21:38My heartbeat settled
21:39I centered the sight on the gunner by the outer gate
21:41He fed ammunition into the M249
21:44A light ring across the courtyard
21:48I adjusted my aim and pulled the trigger
21:50The hunting rifle roared
21:51The recoil rolled into my shoulder and left my arm hanging
21:54Across the courtyard
21:55The gunner dropped over the M249 before he could fire a single round
21:59The ammunition belt slipped from his hands
22:01His body folded across the weapon
22:03The men around him stared up
22:05Unable to see the shooter anywhere
22:08Sniper!
22:09They have a sniper!
22:10Run!
22:11They abandoned the machine gun, their rifles
22:13The ammunition scattered around the table
22:16Men stumbled over one of the weapons of the weapons of the gunboat
22:19Within minutes, the last of the Razor Gangs disappeared into the darkness beyond the estate walls
22:23Only the wounded groaned below
22:27I lowered the hot rifle and rubbed my aching shoulder
22:29Dante and his guards stared at me in silence
22:32The attack was over
22:33Then, behind us, the basement door opened
22:35Father came out first
22:36Followed by mother and my sisters, Gordon and Adrian
22:39They stopped when they saw the entrance hall
22:41The entire group drew a sharp breath once
22:43Smoke stained the walls
22:45The blast had torn apart the doorway
22:47Bodies and broken furniture covered the floor
22:49No one spoke
22:53Adrian came up last
22:54For the first time, there was no pity in his eyes
22:56Only fear
22:57His hand tightened around the railing
23:01By dawn
23:02Surviving staff had begun cleaning the estate
23:05Water played blood and furniture crossed the stone floor and into the drains
23:10Father sat in his crocodile leather armchair in a smaller sitting room
23:13He had not slept
23:14Mother sat apart from him and kept her eyes lowered
23:17My three sisters stayed close together
23:20I leaned back in my chair with a brass round turning between my fingers
23:29I used parts from the broken equipment in the basement
23:33I threw them together
23:36His fingers closed around the arm of his chair
23:38He looked from me to the blast mark still visible through the open door
23:41His eyes moved to the cig beside my chair
23:44Then back to me
23:45He had spent his life around weapons
23:48How much have you been hiding from us?
23:50There was caution in his voice now
23:52I did not answer
23:53The sitting room door opened
23:54Adrian walked in wearing a clean dark suit
23:56His gold-rimmed glasses shone again
23:58And every strand of his hair was back in place
24:00Don Moretti
24:01He gave father a respectful nod
24:03Then turned to me
24:06Wenk, I brought you something
24:08He released the clasps
24:09The lid opened
24:10Black velvet lined the case
24:11A custom silver gun with a pearl grip lay inside
24:15A familiar polished smile had returned
24:17This time it never reached his eyes
24:19Adrian turned the open case toward me
24:22It was custom made by one of the best gunsmiths in the country
24:26It's for your protection
24:27He bent closer
24:29Wearing the gentle expression he used whenever he wanted to sound generous
24:32About last night I misjudged you
24:34You're much braver than I realized
24:36Yesterday I had been too stupid to become his wife
24:38Now that I had value
24:40He had found a new way to speak to me
24:41If you enjoy working with guns
24:43I can teach you the basics of ballistics
24:45He smiled
24:46We could study them together
24:48Vivian stood near the window
24:49With her hands locked in front of her
24:51Her teeth caught her lower lip
24:52Her fiancé had never lowered himself like this for her
24:55Now he was doing it for the sister
24:57They had both treated like an idiot
24:58I said nothing
24:59I reached into the case
25:01And lifted the gun from the velvet
25:03Adrian's shoulders relaxed
25:04A small, satisfied smile touched his mouth
25:06He thought I had accepted peace offering
25:10The recoil is light
25:11Perfect for a woman who
25:15Three seconds later
25:17The expensive pistol lay in pieces across the table
25:19The slide landed beside the open case
25:22The recoil spring rolled across the polished wood
25:24And stopped near Vivian's trembling hand
25:26Adrian stopped speaking
25:28My sister stared at the scattered parts
25:30I picked up the silver barrel
25:32And turned it beneath the light
25:33The finish was beautiful
25:34The workmanship underneath was not
25:36I checked the chamber
25:37Ran my thumb along the barrel
25:39And looked down the bore
25:40Then I tossed it into the garbage can
25:42Inside Adrian
25:42Metal struck metal with a sharp rein
25:44The rifling is misaligned by 0.2 millimeters
25:47No one in the room made a sound
25:49I brushed the dust from my fingers
25:51This gun will jam three times in ten
25:53I looked at Adrian
25:54And you think this garbage qualifies you to teach me?
25:57His smile froze
25:58Color flooded Adrian
25:59His cheeks darkened
26:00And the color climbed to the tips of his ears in seconds
26:02He looked at the ruined gift
26:04Then at everyone watching him
26:06Wank, what kind of attitude is this?
26:08I brought you a gift in good faith
26:10You could at least show some gratitude
26:13Adrian
26:13I cut him off
26:15I don't have the patience for another lecture
26:18He backed away
26:19One more step sent him into the Tigerhide armchair behind him
26:23Last night
26:23The Razorgangs had guns on my family
26:26I held his gaze
26:30You stayed face down and said nothing
26:33His fingers curled at his sides
26:34Now the sun is up
26:36And you think you're brave again?
26:38The room went silent
26:40Father did not interrupt me
26:43A vein rose across his forehead
26:45The polished mask he wore before the Moretti family finally cracked
26:49Keep your charity
26:51And get out of my sight
26:54Fine
26:55Adrian said through his teeth
26:57His voice shook
26:58Fine
26:59He turned and crossed the sitting room without looking at anyone
27:02The door slammed behind him
27:03He left the presentation case open on the table
27:06He did not take the pearl grip, the scattered springs
27:08No one moved to retrieve it
27:10I turned back to my family
27:11My sisters stood together
27:12But none of them whispered or looked away
27:15Gordon stayed near the wall and avoided my eyes
27:17Father remained in his crocodile leather armchair
27:21The Don who had controlled every decision in this family waited for me to speak
27:24Yesterday
27:26They had treated me like a burden
27:27Who could be traded to any wealthy man willing to take me
27:30Today the entire room held its breath
27:32Father
27:32He lifted his eyes to mine
27:34I was not asking for permission
27:36The order had already changed inside this house
27:38Everyone there knew it
27:40From now on I control the Moretti Armory
27:42Father did not tell me no
27:45Father did not tell me no
27:48Father did not tell me no
27:49Father did not tell me no
