The bell above the door jingled, shattering the low hum of 'The Rose.' Whymack looked up from his coffee, his tribal flame tattoos stark against the white fabric of his wife beater. He had waited an hour in this booth, the silence stretching thin after Dan led him here.

The air grew heavy with anticipation as the musician approached, unaware of the recruitment trap snapping shut around them.
