(1980)Luciano Wilder—Val

1980 – New York City

Luciano Wilder was fucked.

Not in the good way, either. This was the bleeding-out, running-for-your-life, heart-pounding-in-your-damn-throat kinda fucked. His $3,000 suit? Ruined. Torn at the knees, splattered with grime from the filthy New York streets. His loafers? Not made for sprinting. But right now? He didn't have a damn choice.

Behind him, three pissed-off bastards in slick Armani suits were gaining.

BANG!

A shot cracked the night open. A window exploded, raining glass onto the sidewalk. A woman screamed. A guy in a taxi ducked so fast he hit his own horn.

"RUN ALL YOU WANT, WILDER! YOU'RE A DEAD MAN!" one of them roared.
