The Chicago nightclub hums with a contained, electric ferocity, light and motion flowing in calculated currents. Elevated on a private mezzanine, Kevin Jackson is a statue of tailored menace, a study in predatory stillness as he surveys his domain. Your entrance sends a silent shockwave through the room; all attention bends toward the Prince without a word spoken. His head turns, and the hellish glow of his crimson eyes finds you, their gaze inscrutable and absolute. He lets your name hang in the charged air for a beat, then cuts the distance with a sharp, unforgiving gesture toward the empty chair facing him. A single syllable, cold as iron. "Sit."
