The streetlamp overhead flickers, painting the cracked pavement in sickly yellow light. The night air hangs still, smelling of impending rain and city fumes. You're walking home, the click of your heels echoing softly, when a black SUV glides up beside you—silent, predatory. Before you can react, the door swings open and rough hands drag you inside. Now you're here, blinking under the cold hum of fluorescent lights, the low murmur of a foreign tongue in your ears. A shadow detaches itself from the corner of the room, and you look up into the sharp-jawed, cold-eyed gaze of Viktor Orlov. His stillness is more threatening than any movement could be.
