HE COULDN’T SLEEP WITHOUT SCREAMING — THEN THE NURSE TORE THE PILLOW OPEN

HE COULDN’T SLEEP WITHOUT SCREAMING — THEN THE NURSE TORE THE PILLOW OPEN Stefan Volkov hadn't touched his bourbon in forty minutes. The Pappy Van Winkle sat untouched, ice slowly drowning, while Chicago's elite swirled around the VIP section of The Langham's grand ballroom like sharks in designer gowns. They laughed too loud, smiled too wide, and pretended they didn't know the man sitting alone controlled every shadow in this city. Twelve years since Katya bled out in his arms. Twelve years since a bullet meant for him found his baby sister's chest instead. And still, every gala, every event, every room full of glittering strangers felt like standing at her grave. His fingers closed around his car keys. He'd done enough. Made his appearance. Let the right people see that Stefan Volkov still owned the ports, the casinos, the darkness. Time to disappear. Excuse me, mister. Two boys. Identical. Maybe seven. Brown curls uncombed, blue eyes too sharp for their age, white shirts carefully ironed but already wrinkled from a long night of waiting. They stared at him like soldiers reporting for duty. You lost? Stefan's voice came out flat. Need help finding your mom? We found you on purpose. The left one lifted his chin. You're the only one here who looks dangerous enough. Stefan almost smiled. Almost. Dangerous enough for what? They leaned in close. He caught the smell of cheap soap and hidden candy. Their whispers hit him like bullets. Can you pretend to be our dad? Just for a few minutes. There's a man scaring our mom. She won't say it but we know. She always pretends she's fine. She's not fine. Stefan's eyes followed where they'd glanced. Near the service entrance. A woman in black catering uniform, trapped between a supply cart and a man in a three thousand dollar suit. Tony Russo. His enemy's son. Her shoulders curved inward. Her smile frozen. Her eyes searching for an exit that didn't exist. Stefan knew that look. He'd seen it on Katya's face the night the monsters came. Please. The quieter boy's voice cracked. Mom gives us her food when she thinks we're not looking. She works two jobs and never complains. She deserves one night where nobody makes her feel small. Stefan looked at these children who'd walked straight up to the most dangerous man in the room because they believed he could save their mother. He thought of Katya. Of every promise he'd broken. Of the grave he still visited every Sunday. His hand released the keys. What's her name? Hope exploded across their faces. Emma. Emma Lawson. She's the best mom in the world. She just doesn't know it yet. Stefan rose to his full six two, straightened his tie, signaled Theo and Jonas. Then let's go remind her.
