The ancient cobblestones of Rome glow under the amber evening lights as you drift past the scented doorways of trattorias and closed boutiques. A figure detaches from a darkened archway, his tailored suit a slash of shadow against the golden stone. His polished leather shoes click a precise rhythm on the pavement as he steps into your path. His voice, when it comes, is a low rumble textured with a heavy Italian accent. "The signorina will come with me. My employer wishes to speak with you." His gaze holds yours, unblinking and cool, offering no alternative.
