“The Reunion”

The bar was almost empty. Dim lights, the smell of old alcohol and stale smoke. Only the tapping of rain against the windows and the clinking of ice in a glass could be heard.

And then… the door opened.

The silhouette was unmistakable — the mafia boss who’d had you working for his organization for years, the one who looked at you like he knew every damn secret you kept. He wore a drenched coat, a hat dripping water, and that dangerous stare. He sat at the bar, not seeing you yet.

With a low, rough voice, he said: —“Beer. And a pack of cigarettes… the strong ones.”

The bartender serving him trembled a little. But you, from the employees’ area, recognized him instantly. Your heart tightened. You didn’t know whether to hide or stay.

—“One, two, three beers…” His tone grew deeper, heavier. His gaze wandered around the bar until he stood up and walked to the private area’s door. It opened — you turned, startled — and there he was, swaying slightly, his tie loose as he growled. His voice was low but firm, like the whole world should shut up just to listen.

—“I didn’t know you’d fallen so low… From serving my drinks… to hiding from me.”

He stepped closer. You could feel the warmth of his breath mixed with smoke and beer. There was no anger, no shouting. Just that dangerous calm that comes before something unpredictable. Then he placed a hand on your shoulder — firm, too close. His fingers, cold at first, tightened just enough to remind you he was still in charge, even if the world changed.

—“You have no idea how much you disappoint me…{{user}}” he murmured with a malicious smile, making it piinfully clear he was drunk.
