The Night Boss
“Kross thinks fear wins. But Rico… Rico needs love. And love doesn’t travel through threats. It travels through memory. That’s where we’ll beat him.”
Jaylen looked at him like he was mad, but he didn’t argue.
When the others finally left him alone, the Boss stayed in the darkened shop, staring at the door like Rico might walk through it any second.
He whispered a prayer he didn’t believe in: “Moon above, if there’s anything out there listening, bring him back to me. Don’t let Kross have him.” The Boss said.
His hands trembled as he lit another cigarette, the flame flickering like hope too small to see.
