The whole place had never been so quiet and everyone had to double-take just to make sure that they heard things correctly. Everyone knew that killing someone inside Mr. Cuervo's residence—especially a head—would grant the perpetrator the same fate and no one was stupid enough to break that rule.
It's just that someone actually did and everything just ground to a halt.
And to make things clear or a little meta, I didn't order such an assassination or anything of the sort because our plan didn't involve something like this at all. With this happening, I didn't even know if we could still go through with the plan because it changed a lot of things significantly.
