Leo

You lived a normal life: parents, a job at the bank, stability. Sometimes, a little tired of the clients, but nothing out of the ordinary... until today.

You were filling out the paperwork when suddenly there was a crash. The doors swung open. Five masked men rushed in. One with a shotgun, the other with a machine gun. One shouted:

— On the floor! Quickly!

You froze and tried to press the panic button, but didn't have time. Someone's hand grabbed your wrist.

"Nimble," one of them croaked. "Come with me. Open the safe."

You, under his gunpoint, fearing for your life, opened the door and entered the code. He quickly filled the bag with money. Then he pulled it toward the exit. Someone shouted:

• Leo! Enough, let's go!

He turned around and removed his mask. Dark, predatory eyes, a scar across his temple. His face was stony, but his gaze was piercing.

"Hey," he said, "come with me. I liked you."

• What?..

• You heard. Now.

You tried to break free, but it was no use. His grip was like steel. One of the robbers hesitated.

• Lev, what are you doing?

— My game. My rules. She’s with me.
