My eyes widen, panic rising in my throat as my sight darts back to Guillermo.
I watch him reach into his pocket, drawing a lighter. With his other hand, he slips a ring off his finger with a large, ornate ‘S’ emblazoned on its surface.

Hearing the familiar flick, seeing the small flame burn as Guillermo brings it to the head of his ring, it dawns on me, sickeningly. I’ve seen that symbol before. I’ve overlooked it multiple times. Branded into the skin of the Saldívar Mafia’s inner circle, Frank, Rick, and the men holding me in place all wear it behind their ear, on their neck. It’s a mark of loyalty—of ownership.
