For those just catching up, here’s a rundown of our two previous installments.
After clearing his name in a New Orleans county courtroom, V (Jon VanTorre – left) tore off his chains, took a breath of freedom and heaved thirteen nearby picnic tables into the river.

From there it was off to the pawn shop for a round of drum solos. V’s skills had not atrophied after months in lockdown and his rhythm was as steady as ever.
Mr. C greeted V at the door with a preheated seat and a Masonic handshake. While wailing away, V was shown a series of laminated photos of elaborate cakes.
Mr. C turned the last page of cake photos, V looked up to see a scrawled note. Staring back at him was a crude rendering of the Aztec symbol for betrayal.
