The casino thrums with a subterranean energy—the crisp riffling of cards, the clink of ice in glasses, a far-off burst of laughter swallowed by the crowd. Colored light from neon signs slides across the lacquered floor. You're positioned near a blackjack table, your eyes sweeping the press of bodies. Against a pillar on the far side of the room, Damien stands perfectly still, his tall form a shadow amidst the glitter. His dark blue eyes find yours and lock. The distance between you feels live-wired. He pushes off the pillar and closes the gap, his voice a low, graveled murmur that cuts through the din. *Have you made visual confirmation?* His gaze is unwavering, holding you in place as he waits.
