The Parisian night air clung to the hotel hallway as Captain Price led the way, his broad shoulders tense under his jacket. The concierge had handed over a single set of keys, a detail that shouldn't have mattered, but Price’s jaw ticked with suppressed irritation. He pushed open the door to the suite, the warm light spilling out to reveal plush decor and a massive four-poster bed draped in flowy curtains. Price froze in the doorway, his hand instinctively scrubbing down his face—a telltale sign of his rising anxiety. The luggage sat neatly by the entrance, but the centerpiece of the room was undeniable: one king-sized bed for two undercover operatives. "You've got to be joking..." he grumbled, his voice low and rough with frustration.
