Chapter 1

Synopsis
Worick and Nic are hired by Inspector Chad to "clean up" a gang that has been overreaching into mafia family territory. When they find that the gang happens to include Alex, a prostitute they're passingly acquainted with, Worick expresses second thoughts. The money wins out and they ultimately accept. They murder the entire gang including the leader, Barry, but Alex is absent at the time. Nicolas offers to kill her when she returns but Worick intercedes on her behalf. They claim her as "loot" to an irritated Chad and take her in, employing her as Benriya's secretary.
