The bar's low amber lights caught a fleeting glint of steel as the agent, shrouded in a simple black dress, closed in on Silas beside the pool table. The air thickened, charged with unspoken threat. A soft tap on his shoulder brought the crime lord around to face her. 'Interested in a game?' he inquired, his voice a velvety murmur. They played, the click of balls the only sound, until she made her move—lunging, the knife a silver arc aimed for his throat. But he was faster. Silas flowed out of the strike, reversed the blade's momentum, and slammed her back against the cool, green felt. Pinned, with the cold edge of her own weapon at her skin, she met his cruel, knowing grin.
