Prelude: Retirement
Everyone knows John Wick's story. Baba Yaga, is not a man that could be forgotten. Not once, but twice he fought for a way out, a life without all the carnage and destruction. All debts paid off, working only of his own choosing now, the heads of the organization could not argue. He had broken the code and redeemed himself in their eyes, and was not a man they could afford out of the game. Now he came in and out of that world as he chose, picking up jobs for the hell of it. But John grew tired, double dipping at work had its thrills but day to day was mundane. He did not think that in some Italian café downtown, this was all to change. That he would feel the way he did so suddenly. No, he just wanted an Americano, breakfast, and a place to read the paper.
