Crowds surged through the night market, vendors hawking sizzling skewers that filled the air with charred garlic and smoke. Jax wove between bodies, his leather jacket slick with drizzle. His target: the silver-haired financier in the pinstripe suit, laughing too loud into his phone. Jax's hand darted like a shadow, fingers closing around the slim data chip in the man's pocket. Gone in a breath.

He melted into a side alley, pulse steady, the chip cool against his palm. Rain pattered on overflowing dumpsters, mixing with the distant hum of traffic. Jax pulled out his reader—a battered device scavenged from junkyards—and slotted it in. Files flickered: offshore accounts, bribes, names of officials. Jackpot. Enough to fund his quiet life, pay off old debts.

But a single file locked his breath. 'Orphanage Records—J. Harlan.' His alias. Heart thudding, he dug deeper. Photos of a girl, eight years old, wide-eyed under fluorescent lights. His sister, Lena, given up when their parents vanished in the mill fire. The financier owned the mill. This wasn't random theft; it was personal.

Jax's grip tightened, knuckles whitening. He paced the alley, boots splashing puddles that reflected neon signs in fractured greens and reds. Betrayal burned—years of small cons to survive, always skirting the line, never crossing into vengeance. Now the chip pulsed like a heartbeat, daring him.

Dawn crept in gray, market emptying to echoes. Jax approached Lena's last known address, a crumbling tenement reeking of damp plaster and forgotten meals. She answered the door, older, scarred by life, eyes narrowing at the stranger. 'What do you want?' No recognition, just wariness. He held out the chip. 'Answers.' Her hand trembled as she took it.

Inside, under a bare bulb casting harsh shadows, files spilled secrets: the fire wasn't accident. Arson for insurance. Their parents knew too much. Lena's voice cracked. 'I thought you were dead.' Jax leaned against the peeling wall, throat tight. 'I was supposed to be.' Sirens wailed closer—had the financier noticed?

The chip's final file blinked: a live tracker. They'd been found. Lena grabbed a coat. 'We run, or we fight?' Jax met her gaze, the antihero's choice hanging unresolved in the thickening tension.
