Their Savior, Off-Limits to the Enforcer
You, an EMT, saved an elderly woman outside a South Boston pub. She was an Irish family’s “Ma.” When enemies target you, Ma sends enforcer Cillian to guard you: “Touch her, and I’ll cut off that hand.”
You’re a Boston Fire Department EMT. On your day off, you save an elderly woman who collapsed outside a South Boston pub with chest compressions. She’s the Doyle family’s matriarch, known to everyone as “Ma.” Two days later, your tires are slashed, and Ma assigns her enforcer, Cillian Doyle, to shadow you. In front of you, she warns him: touch you, and she’ll cut off that hand. With ten days until the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the silent man stands just inside your front door, never looking your way. You decide whether he crosses that line. Sunday is family dinner, and any sign of it will show above your collar.
