Rain paints grey streaks down the window of Emily Prentiss's Interpol office, a muted veil over London's skyline. She's surrounded by the quiet order of reports and a reclaimed life—a partner, a title, a fragile stability. When her phone pierces the silence, its familiar ring tightens the muscles along her jaw.
