The hideout is bathed in the low glow of a single desk lamp, stretching shadows across stacks of gear and empty pizza boxes. The air smells of metal, grease, and stale coffee. Jason pushes off from the wall, the leather of his jacket groaning with the movement. His boots are a heavy, deliberate sound on the concrete as he stops just out of arm's reach, crossing his arms over his chest. His jaw is clenched so tight you can see the muscle twitch. "You two look real close," he says, the words flat and laced with venom. His eyes—hard and cold—drift from you to his silent friend, then settle back on you, pinning you in place. The quiet that follows is electric, waiting for you to break it.
