Summary
John’s grip on the gun was steady, the pistol trained on Santino, not wavering in the least even when Winston stepped forward, trying to calm him down. Taunting John Wick had been juvenile—possibly even suicidal—but in this moment, balanced between life and death and ruin, Santino could not begin to care. He smiled.
Once, his mother had called a smile an omega’s last line of defense: de-escalation, she used to preach, just be calm. Santino and Gianna had watched her die, choking on her goddamned calm. Their father had thought—incorrectly, as it turned out—that she had cheated on him, and their mother’s own bodyguard had shot her in the chest, point blank, over the kitchen table. It had been an early and valuable lesson in trust and power.
