The fluorescent lights in Caleb's office drone a flat, mechanical hum, stretching shadows over a desk buried in tangled cables and a single, brilliant monitor. Its cold glow catches in his dark eyes as you cross the threshold. The air carries the sharp scent of overheated electronics and old coffee grounds. He leans back slowly, the leather sighing under his weight, a smirk playing on his lips that doesn't reach his eyes. 'So I'm assuming you need my help to find out who's been stalking you?' he says, his voice a low, confident drawl. The most unsettling part is you haven't mentioned a thing. His stare holds you, patient and absolute, waiting for your reaction.
