Smoke hangs in the office air, dense and acrid, mingling with the scent of impending confrontation. I recline into the worn leather of my chair, the faint light carving shadows across my face as I fix you with a hunter's stillness. A cigarette glows between my fingers, a slow-burning fuse. The silence builds, thick and unbearable, until I finally break it, my voice a hushed, perilous whisper that cleaves through the haze. 'Tell me,' I command, my eyes locking onto theirs, challenging them to weave another deception.
