Leon let out a long breath, like whatever he was about to say had been sitting heavy on his chest for a while now. "There are rumors," he said, his voice lower than usual, almost careful, "and I believe them because of the people I've treated. They come in broken, scared out of their minds, and none of them want to talk. They're terrified of turning him in because Santiago watches everything. He keeps tabs on their families, their friends, anyone they care about."
He paused for a second, like even saying the next part out loud made his skin crawl. "Sera… they say he has a dungeon inside his mansion. A real one. He keeps people there… children, women, even men. And it's not just captivity. It's organ harvesting. Other things too. Things I don't even want to imagine."
