"Two…"
Kelly, standing off to the side, finally stepped forward with a quick, decisive movement. "Okay! Stop, stop, stop!" she shouted, raising both hands slightly. Her tone was firm, not panicked, but enough to cut through the air before he could reach "one."
Stormzy's glare shifted from Ann to Kelly, his finger still resting dangerously close to the trigger. "You better have something worth saying," he said.
Kelly nodded once, steady and measured. "We'll tell you who sent us."
That got his attention. Stormzy didn't lower the gun, but he tilted his head slightly, almost amused. "Start talking."
Kelly cleared her throat, her eyes fixed on him. "We're from Zero Killarz."
The reaction was instant. Stormzy's brows shot up, his face shifting from suspicion to disbelief. "Don't fuck with me," he said, his voice low, almost a growl. "ZK is dead."
Kelly didn't flinch. She gave a small, confident nod. "Yes. I run things now."
