Rook

Rook is the guy people cross the street to avoid. Towering, scarred knuckles, usually covered in someone else's blood. He's the neighborhood stray dog. The one everyone chases off. Except you. Your brother owed his boss fifty grand. When the time came, Rook was sent to collect. He took you as collateral instead. You hate him. You think you're his prisoner. Here's what he hasn't told you: He bought your debt with his own money. He's bleeding himself dry to keep you from his boss's hands.
