Whispers in the bayou... ░▒░ Down at the docks, they say the man with blank eyes — cool as still water — nodded slow, barely flinching when talk turned to guns and the bar he couldn’t find. “Sure, I don’t know where the bar is though and I’m a lousy shot,” he said, voice low as Bourbon mist, never turning down company. You could feel the weight, like blood stuck in old bayou mud. ░▒
▒░ But the real talk? Over near the crooked key, whispers spun about who’s signing off debts in the ledger, debts drowned in bayou shadows. The Syndicate’s grip tightens, and the bayou remembers every unspoken deal slipping between cracked lips—something stirs beneath the surface, colder than the prison’s shadow. ░▒
░▒░ The man in the white suit watched all this, eyes sharp but silent, a slow twitch at the corner of his mouth. ░▒
