The atmosphere inside the watch party venue was heavy with anticipation.

Every pair of eyes was glued to the mounted television screens that lined the upper corners of the event hall.

The final numbers were moments away, and the tension in the room had become so palpable it was almost physical.

Drinks were paused halfway to lips, Conversations froze mid-sentence, even the buzzing of phones died down, as everyone was more focused on the screen than even their own well being.

Lloyd leaned forward, arms crossed, expression unreadable.

Beside him, Ivan stood with a relaxed but attentive stance, while Mason remained perched on a nearby stool, a slow, knowing grin spreading across his face.

Ivan hadn't said anything since his arrival at this watch party, and he didn't need to.

He believed he didn't really have much to say compared to the conversation Lloyd was having with his uncle.

But despite his relaxed stance, it was just a ruse for his internal anxiety, as he knew that Eve Willis c

    The soft clinking of glasses and the low hum of celebration echoed from the other side of the restaurant.In the quiet booth at the edge of the venue, Lloyd and Mason sat with their drinks untouched. Their expressions were tense, their voices low,Mason leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on the table "So what are you saying about taking down Don Pizzaro, need to talk about it"Lloyd gave a faint... amused snort "Do we? The man just lost, eve won... better than won, she won in a landslide, his political dreams are crushed... and his days of operation are numbered, what threat does he still pose?"Mason shook his head slowly "You think someone like Don Pizzaro takes defeat quietly? This isn’t a man who folds easily, this is someone who’s built an empire in the shadows..." Lloyd understood what Mason was saying in theory, but he still wasn't convinced the don could do much.Mason could see that Lloyd Stull wasn't getting it, so be decided to be a lot more direct."Don't you se

    Two days before the election, the streets of Hilburg were unusually quiet, but Morty Flanagan’s mind was anything but. The black sedan he’d driven back from the Grimshade Bar hummed softly as it pulled into the Flanagan family estate.According to Lloyd,the had told Ivan to drive him home to help calm his nerves, but the trip, despite Ivan not saying a single word, or even looking in his direction, was anything but calming.He didn't blame Ivan too much though, as He’d also barely spoken a word since leaving the bar.Lloyd’s instructions, and more importantly, the thick folder of documents now tucked under his arm, weighed on him like stone.He still couldn’t believe what Lloyd had asked of him.

    The aftermath of the election was an earthquake within Hilburg’s elite, but in the Flanagan household, it felt like the epicenter.Larry Flanagan’s tantrum had rattled the entire living room... pillows were tossed, glasses shattered, a coffee table flipped onto its side.Eileen tried desperately to console her husband, placing trembling hands on his shoulders as he paced, muttering and cursing under his breath."Larry, please" she pleaded "You’re going to give yourself a heart attack...""Let them come!" he shouted "Let them all come! Eve, the Capital M gang, every miserable fool who thought they could take my city from me!"Morty stood near the entrance, shaken. He hadn’t seen his father this unhinged since he was a child. "The city isn't yours dad, and your worst mistakes was thinking your ruse could go on after you killed Henry Numa" thought Morty.Without a word, he turned and walked away, clutching the folder of documents tighter against his chest.He returned to his room and lo

    Don Pizzaro’s body slumped forward over the table, his face falling into the pool of blood that gushed freely from the wound in his skull. The shattered glass still trembled in his lifeless hand, and for a few brief seconds, Larry Flanagan could do nothing but stare, frozen in disbelief. The scent of blood mingled with the expensive cologne the Don always wore...It was the smell of power meeting its end.For the briefest of moments, possibly the longest brief moment in his life, he saw a reflection of a red Lazer on the a shattered glass on the table Then another shot cracked through the night air, and the second bullet shattered the window behind him, slicing through where his head had been just seconds before. Larry ducked instinctively, rolling to the ground behind the thick wooden table. The crack of a high-caliber sniper rifle echoed again. THE BASTARD'S WERE TRYING TO KILL HIM TOO!And soon chaos erupted within the house.Multiple security guards rushed in to attend to the

    Morty, I will ask you again... what the fuck are you doing?" asked Larry, as he glared at his son without an ounce of fear"And like I said, DRIVE!" Morty yelled as he pointed the gun straight at his father's head.Larry had raised his son with a heavy hand, making sure to emphasize discipline and hardwork, beacuse of this, Morty had grown up almost slightly scared of his own father, and Larry had always known when Morty was afraid of his wrath, just like he had trained him to.Right now however, for the first time since his child was born, he saw not an ounce of fear in his face, causing Larry's body to shake... He still didn't understand what was going on, but he suspected the worst.ultimately, he decided to do what Morty said, as he was sure the boy was not in is right mind.None of the guards saw the interaction Morty had with his dad, and Morty was able to keep his gun properly concealed, so they slipped out of the house with very little detection.Larry still cursed under his

    Larry's eyes widened in horror at the mention of the name "Lincoln Bishop""Where... how did you know about... who gave you that name?" asked Larry, stumbling over his words."I mean... He was the previous Chief of police, a quick scan through the records and I'd see his name" Morty replied, as Larry was still shaken."But it's interesting how you reacted to the mere mention of his name, from what I heard... The two of you used to be really close, wasn't he the one who brought you into the force?" asked Morty.Larry shook his head, and remained silent for a few minutes before he answered, "Yes... Lincoln and I were close, and yeah, he was my mentor, brought me into the force and all that...""But he ultimately showed me what it truly meant to be a cop in this fucking city... he was a corrupt, thieving son of a bitch, and he made me regret trying to be a good cop in my early days" added Larry."Is that why you killed him?" asked Morty?"What?" asked Larry, feigning ignorance of genuine

Simon Harland was the bastard who ran the Draguns! You said you killed him!""Sorry Dad... I lied" responded Morty, in a rather unfeeling voice "Simon Harland never existed" Lloyd added calmly "He was a mask I wore, a role I played so I could return to Hilburg unnoticed... I needed to find out who murdered my family, and now, I know"Larry scoffed, "No you fucking don't...

    The Grimshade Bar was quiet that afternoon, a rare peace hanging in the air as rays of sunlight trickled through the half-closed blinds. A warm glow painted the worn leather booths and old wooden bar, casting the entire place in a somber, golden hue. Lloyd sat at his usual booth near the back, his arm resting casually on the edge of the table as he nursed a glass of whiskey. Ivan, Morty, and Jacob were with him, each nursing their own drinks, the weight of the last two months resting heavily on their shoulders.It had been exactly two months since Eve Willis had been officially inaugurated as mayor of Hilburg.Lloyd had spent most of that time with Lisa, enjoying what he described as a long overdue vacation. They had been traveling the country, taking in the sights, leaving the chaos of the city behind... even if only temporarily. But now, it was time to return to the city’s heartbeat, and the first stop was always the Grimshade Bar.Lloyd was the first to speak, leaning forward

Jacob stood frozen, arms crossed, jaw clenched tight.Walker opened his mouth, then closed it again. He swallowed, cleared his throat, and said with a voice that trembled just slightly “No... I failed"Another pause...Then, the voice on the other end changed, sharpened, full of disdain “Of course you did. You always do""Even after I trained you in the same fighting style as the dragon duke, you still couldn't beat him... You fucking failure"Lloyd and Ivan's eyes widened in horror, as it all started to make sense...

    Ivan and Lloyd stood in front of Walkers unconcious body, as they waited for him to awaken.he had been tied to chair in metal chair with very large ropes, and Lloyd hadn't taken his eyes off him for over an hour, as he still struggled to believe it was who he thought it was. Jacob soon begins to wake up, as he was also taken to the facility, he wasn't given any regenerative solution as Lloyd determined he didn't need it"What happened? where are we?" asked Jacob, rubbing his face tired.Ivan, seeing that Lloyd wasn't in the mood for saying anything, decided to fill Jacob in with what had happened."Everyone's dead... that's what happened" said Ivan"Everyone?... Like everyone we got for the job?" asked Jacob in disbelief."Yeah..." replied Ivan in a tone."The only reason you're even alive right now is beacuse Lloyd and I did our best during that battle to protect you" he added."What about Murete and his goons?... did they get away?" asked Jacob."I don't know" replied Ivan, somewh

    The morning sun filtered lazily through the grand windows of the Francis estate, casting long golden beams across the dining room table. Breakfast was being served, but peace wasn’t on the menu.Lisa sat quietly, nibbling on her toast while Lloyd sipped his black coffee, stone-faced. Across from them, John Francis barked into his napkin, his tone cutting.“So this is it? No appointments, no calls, no bloody contracts from Eve Willis?” John snapped, glaring at Lisa like she’d stolen something. “We gave you everything... even after all your failure, we let you be a part of this family, and in return... you give us failure”“Maybe if you didn’t waste your favor propping up losers, we’d all have jobs by now” Roy chimed in, his smirk sharp and smug. “Heard from one of my friends in city hall that Eve’s having problems with your boy, Lisa... Apparently, he started a fight in her damn office”The moment the words left his mouth, all heads turned to Lloyd.“Again?” Harold said, throwing h

    Lloyd leaned back in the booth at the Hilburg Mall restaurant, his jaw tightening as the name echoed through his head."Murete" Mason had saidLloyd narrowed his eyes "That name doesn't ring any bells, who the hell is he?"Mason exhaled slowly, sipping from his drink before setting the glass down "He was just another enforcer back in the day, one of those men who only ever spoke when asked, but followed orders like a dog... He worked under the Lancastersbefore they were betrayed by the Hilburg elite"Lloyd’s brows knitted together "So he’s not a Lancaster?""No he isnt... at least I'm 95% sure he isn't, but when the family started crumbling, Murete didn’t run like the others, he killed the leader... one of the last surviving heads, and took over" Mason clarified."Why though... would the Lancaster's follow someone that wasn't one of them?" Wondered Lloyd."At that point most of the family was dead, but that's probably why he changed the branding... Rebranded the remnants as Capital M,

    Lloyd stood at the far end of the room, phone pressed tightly against his ear, his voice low but laced with tension. Ivan’s steady tone came through on the other end, calm as always but with an edge Lloyd rarely heard from him.“She's a problem now, Boss” Ivan said.l “I suggest we start looking at ways to squeeze pressure, take back some favors... maybe challenge her publicly, get supporters to cut off support... Maybe leak a few things to the press”"We don't really have anything on her Ivan, or did you forget just how clean this woman is?" asked Lloyd"I understand boss, but we can gather some, as no one ever manages to be clean, especially not someone associating with the capital M gang" replied Lloyd."What if we can't get anything in time, what if it takes two to three months for her to perform a slip up large enough for us to capitalize on?" Lloyd asked, still incredibly skeptical, which somewhat confused Ivan, as he expected him to wish to continue Eve as soon as possibleLloyd

The evening breeze swept through the street, stirring Morty’s coat as he stood frozen.“Chief Leta?” Morty asked... slowly, as if trying to wake from a bad dream “you can’t arrest me... I’m your superior... I’m the acting Chief of Police”Gerald, standing stiffly, his badge gleaming under the porch light, corrected him “Former acting Chief, as of an hour ago, I am the officially appointed Chief of Police for the city of Hilburg”Morty’s brow furrowed “That’s not possible... the council vote for my candidacy was today...”“And your candidacy was rejected" Gerald cut in, handing Morty a sealed envelope "due to your alleged involvement in ongoing criminal investigations”Morty tore open the document and scanned the words... his eyes widened as he reached the final signature, Eve Willis.“She... she si
