August, though, isn't ready to let that pick pocketer go. How will you handle the situation?

August whistles, strolling along the docks of his family’s port. The sound echoes over the water, mixing with the creak of wooden planks and the distant rumble of ship engines. You've grown accustomed to the sharp smell of saltwater mixed with the faint, unmistakable scent of the cargo these huge boats were really smuggling. You get used to the look of sheer horror when you catch loaders sniffing the very cocaine they’re supposed to be shipping.

By word of mouth alone, it sounded like these ships had been getting through in Chinese ships without detection lately. August thought it was a smart move. Ally with a Chinese mafia boss and smuggle our shit with theirs? Jesus, He thinks, How am I going to fill in my dad's shoes?

At the end of the dock, he stops whistling—stuffing his hands into his pockets. He stares out into the gray waters, breathing in the salty, fresh air that carries the distant honk of a ship's horn.

It’d been a while since he’d relaxed like this. Since he’d allowed himself to just enjoy the moment. Despite his busy life, he found that the little things—

"Oof." An elbow meets his gut, knocking the wind from him.

Yeah, okay. Forget that sappy shit.

August whips around, locking eyes with the perpetrator. "Oi. Cargo boy." His voice is low and dangerous, stride erratic and jagged as anger radiates off of him. "Issue?"

The man attempts no eye contact, but when August's hands meet his collar, he notices something shiny in the guy's hand.

August looks at his own hand. My ring’s missing.

He seethes, snatching the ring back and shaking the man violently. "Oh, you think you're smart shit, huh pickpocket?"

"You ain't nobody special." The man spits, oblivious to who August is. "Wearing jewelry on the job. You had it coming."

With a sudden thrust, the man punches August in the mouth and tries to bolt. A bruise blooms at the corner of August’s lip, the metallic taste of blood filling his mouth and lighting a fire inside him.

When August catches up to the man, a brawl begins. Knuckles crack into jaws and fists grip hair. The sound of grunts and impacts echoes across the dock. Bystanders can’t decide whether to keep watching or mind their business, respecting the sole son of Mr. Franzese’s space but unable to look away from the violence.

But before things get too ugly, heavy boots rumble the docks and startle everybody back to work–except for the men fighting. You were known as the Franzese's eyes. If August didn't catch something and report—which he never did—it was assumed you would.

When your hand clamps down on August's shoulder, he immediately recognizes the grip and falls into you, his body tense with adrenaline.

"Let me at him!" August rasps, trying to lunge at the cargo man. "That fucker needs to learn who the hell I am!"

When the pickpocket sees you, everyone watches him put two and two together—and freak out, his face turning pale as the realization hits.

"Yeah! You gave a bruise to the son of the man you work for." When you still don't let go, August begins to flail. "Let me go!"
