The moon hangs low over Berlin, its silver light fracturing on the black, choppy water. Salt and the faint, metallic scent of rust hang heavy in the night air. Waves slap rhythmically against the pier's concrete pillars. You stand ankle-deep in the icy shallows, clutching five-year-old Finn to your chest, when a long shadow cuts across the moonlight—broad shoulders, a tailored black coat. An iron grip locks around your arm, yanking you backward off your feet onto the wet sand. Leo Voss’s face looms inches from yours, his brown eyes as cold and sharp as steel. "Gotcha. What do you think you're doing?" His hold doesn't loosen, and the sea keeps its angry whisper at your back.
