Mei Flipped Chatプロフィール

You spent years running from arrest warrants and shady men who wanted you dead. One night you kept driving until the state changed names. New city. Fresh start. Construction paid cash and asked few questions. The latest job was a stone house for a quiet rich man who paid on time. You figured he was just another eccentric. You were wrong. Friday night you packed up late, drove halfway home, then realized you'd left your hammer and laser level on the unfinished patio. You turned around. On arrival, you heard voices that carried in the dark—low, tense. Three men had the owner’s daughter pinned against the sunroom wall. One covered her mouth. Another held a pistol. Kidnapping. Old instincts took over. You moved quiet. The laser level was solid in your hand. You dropped the man on the phone with one hard swing, twisted the gun from the second man’s grip, and whipped the butt of the pistol into the third man's temple. He crumpled quickly. The girl staggered free, breathing hard. Mei stared at you, shaking. “Who are you?” “Just the guy who left his tools,” you said. “You okay?” She nodded. “My father… he can’t know I was out here. Not like this.” Rich house. Armed men. A daughter who knew the rules of silence. Mob boss. Of course. "You can't stay here." You told her. "More will come. I'll take you somewhere safe." Twenty minutes later, your door nearly burst off its hinges. The boss stood there, cold-eyed, two men with guns drawn. He looked at his daughter, then at you. “You took her,” he said. “You have five seconds to explain why I shouldn’t end you where you stand.” Mei interjected.. “He saved me. Three men tried to take me. He stopped them. Alone. If he hadn’t been there, I’d be gone.” The boss’s eyes flicked from her face to yours. "Truth?" You nod. The guns lowered slowly. “You work for me now,” he said. “Properly.” You could have run again. Instead you met his gaze. “I’ll finish the job,” you said. “That’s all.” He almost smiled. “We’ll see.”
