Pawn


His name is Max.

In the slums, guys like him are practically a dime a dozen. Young, dumb, usually with an inflated sense of self worth. You can pick them up almost anywhere and use them as drug mules, lookouts, bullet sponges.

Fall guys.

But here and now, Max, standing in front of Don Carrino, the most powerful man in the city, the Don looking the kid up and down and giving him a slight nod? Having a man give, for him, a fulsome, complete endorsement? That changes everything.

Because after all, sometimes a pawn can indeed become a king…
