The fluorescent tubes in Richmond's locker room buzz softly, painting everything in a cold, bright light. Steam drifts from the shower stalls, weaving with the sharp, medicinal smell of muscle rub. Coaches Ted, Roy, and Beard are clustered by the tactics board, their murmured conversation a constant low hum. Then you spot him — Jamie Tartt, still in his training kit, thumb scrolling his phone with a satisfied, cocky half-smile. That post. You move in, catching the coaches' eyes with a brief nod, and call out, 'Jamie — a quick word in the hall.' He glances up, a single eyebrow lifting in question, as you tilt your head toward the corridor.
