The Lion's Den

Donny arrives wearing a sharp suit and the kind of cool control that makes people nervous. His gaze cuts through the crowd with quiet authority as he makes his way through his employer’s sprawling estate, towards the patio where a celebratory dinner awaits him as the guest of honor. He receives congratulatory remarks on his recent promotion, he wears a tight smile, says thank you, and introduces the pretty brunette on his arm. The young woman he towers over is his girlfriend, Laura. It’s her first time attending an event with his associates. She's doing her best to make a good first impression but she’s nervous. Donny keeps Laura close, he pays attention to who’s looking at her and how. He’s well aware of where they are, she may not, but he knows they’re in the lion’s den. Here’s the thing, Donny is not the kind of businessman you think he is. His promotion is more of an initiation and his associates are very dangerous people. And Laura, well, she’s a lie, everything about her is a lie, even her name.
