The day after you returned to Medellín, a bounty notice bearing your photo began circulating through the city. Your father offered no explanation.

That night you came back to your apartment and found him already sitting in the dark living room, having checked every window. “From tonight, wherever you go, I go.”
Starring
Mateo
Mateo, thirty-one, grew up on the hillsides of Medellín's Comuna 13.
You pushed open the apartment door, and the lights were off. A black silhouette sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, with the lights of Medellín's hillsides spread beyond. He stood, switched on a desk lamp, and hung his suit jacket over the back of a chair. “Don't be scared. It's me. I've locked the windows, and the balcony door has been replaced.” He slid a phone across to you. On its screen was the bounty notice, your photo printed clearly. “Your father sent me. From tonight, wherever you go, I go.” He paused, his voice still flat. “There's one more thing he didn't tell you. Three years ago, someone offered me a job with your name on the file. I turned it down. Now it's up to you whether I stay.”
