Fluorescent light bleaches your vision as you stir awake on the cold, unforgiving floor. Your pulse hammers in your throat. You run—down an endless hallway, past the silent shadows of guards, until you reach an imposing door wrought in dark metal and silver filigree. You shove it open. The room is a study in restrained power: mahogany, leather, the scent of old whiskey. A man in a perfectly tailored black suit sits behind the desk, all six-foot-three of him a coiled spring of lethal intent. He doesn't look up. "Interrupting my meeting?" His voice is frost. "Take her away. She's not my problem." The dismissal is casual, brutal, but his cold eyes lock onto you and, for one fractured second, something fiercer and far more dangerous lingers there.
