The alley sat between a closed pharmacy and a shuttered massage parlor, narrow enough that the neon from the main strip only reached halfway down. Pink and red light spilled across wet asphalt in broken stripes, reflecting off puddles left by an earlier rain. The air smelled of exhaust, cheap perfume, and the faint metallic edge of the city at two in the morning. Music thumped from a bar on the corner, muffled by distance.

"Are you sure about that?" "Yes," Rey muttered without hesitation. Alessia entered Alby's room when she knocked several times. But never got a reply. A masculine fragrance immediately greeted his sense of smell when Alessia stepped deeper. Alessia noticed that Alby's room looked well-groomed with thick books lined up neatly in the corner. Seeing the many books there, Alessia subconsciously approached the shelf and browsed through Alby's collection of books. Many Novels as well as documentaries and obsolete notes on the shelves the bottom.

His hand waved, letting the boy go *** The alley was very dark, dirty and smelly. The houses there looked shabby and unkempt, in harmony with the gloomy aura and the suffocating air that felt very thick. The appearance of a plain horse-drawn carriage without an emblem in the East End was enough to attract the attention of the people there. They know that the long-awaited cash flow has arrived.

Better throw this before anyone saw this thumbler' *end of flashback* Walking to the direction of the alley Oliver heads straight until he see the the last part of the alley. Looking at his surrounding, it is just houses and some stalls not far from him. Oliver knew for sure that it is not that far and it is connected to the place and where you can see the night market.

"It is said that Follard was seen in the slum between Hanging Ax Alley and Dead Man's Lane. It was like an anthill with holes in the walls and interlaced tunnels -" "Yes, I know the place." Kai kept his face impassive, though he was aware of a cold distaste curling up in his stomach. He had been into the slums before, even with a high tolerance for the horrors of the underworld, it was a ghastly experience. The last time he visited Hanging Ax Alley, he'd seen a mother selling her child as a prostitute for a bottle of gin, while beggars and prostitutes crowded the narrow alleyways like sardines.

I'd seen it on the faces of others, that strangled look of panic you only get when you know a predator is near, but I'd never experienced it before, not like this. The air in the alley wasn't that much better than inside Oscar's office, thick with the cloying stench of piss and damp, where the rainwater had infected the base of the walls, but even this tasted better than inside. Close by, water was gurgling out of a broken moss-covered drainpipe, the grate below filled with sodden cigarette packets, remnants of club flyers and cig butts, forcing the water to overflow and stream across the alley towards where I stood. The water reached my feet and I numbly watched as it seeped into the open-t

I ran as fast as I could down the alley, while my group of friends shouted after me. My drunkenness overshadowed all caution as I went deeper into the darkness. My only goal was to put as much space between myself and people as I possibly could. Since I’d never ventured into the alley before, I had no clue where it would lead me. I was surprised to discover a small cul-de-sac. Who knew such things existed in the business section of Queens?

I decided to venture into the alley, hoping to spot Juliet at one of the intersections. The alley was quiet in contrast to the bustling market, making my heartbeat seem loud in my ears. My footsteps echoed as I scanned the corners and windows for any sign of Juliet. However, as I went deeper into the alley, I realized the environment might not be as safe as I thought. Shadows seemed to move at the end of the alley, and I heard whispers and snickers, unsettling me. I planned to turn back to the main street, but a group of thugs emerged from the shadows around a corner, surrounding me with ill intentions.

“Alley—there, before it closes.” Elise forced her legs to obey. They veered into a narrow passage, shadows swallowing them whole. Behind them, the square collapsed into chaos—timbers falling, flames devouring, the roar of fire louder than the screams. Becky’s corpse burned somewhere within, unmarked, indistinguishable from the ruin she had birthed. Elise didn’t look back. She couldn’t. The alley twisted, black with smoke, lined with broken shutters and crumbling stone. Every corner felt like it might hide another mercenary, another mob, another death. Elise tightened her grip on her spear and pushed on, every breath a battle.
