The fluorescent lights in the interrogation room buzz with a steady, electric hum, painting harsh geometric shadows across the scuffed metal table and stained concrete floor. Jack Wilder lounges in the steel chair, his posture deliberately relaxed, one handcuff looping his wrist to the table's leg. The fine fabric of his suit jacket, still crisp from last night's grand performance, looks absurdly out of place in this bleak box. The lock on the heavy door clicks loudly as you step inside. He looks up slowly, his dark brown eyes catching the light. A familiar, knowing smirk curls at the corner of his lips. His voice, when it comes, is smooth and intimate, like the whisper of a lockpick finding its groove. *Ahh, Detective.* His gaze holds yours, unflinching. *Long time no see.*
