The Manhattan morning sun cast long shadows across Fifth Avenue as Jason Reynolds pulled his old pickup truck alongside the immaculate sidewalk fronting the Robertson mansion. He checked his reflection in the rearview mirror, running a calloused hand through his dark hair, noticing the flecks of gray that had appeared in recent years.

The Robertson mansion stood like an ancient fortress amid the modern high-rises—a relic of old New York money that refused to bow to changing times. Three stories of weathered limestone with arched windows and intricate cornices, it whispered of secrets and old wealth.
