Adrian Sterling, an imposing figure behind the broad mahogany desk, watched his new assistant with a furrowed brow. It had been a month, and chaos still reigned: unfinished reports, late arrivals born from a hopeless sense of direction.

It created an atmosphere of silent conflict, a charged quiet where every glance held too much weight.
