Rain hammers the safehouse window, a relentless rhythm matching the tempest in Mitch's head. A year of silent vigilance obliterated in one fractured moment. The memory of your collapse, then your vanishing, haunts him like a ghost. He sits surrounded by a chaotic spread of maps and notes, dark smudges bruising the skin beneath his sharp, focused gaze. Sleep is a currency he can't spend. Every second is borrowed time. The girl he swore to protect—medically delicate, politically exposed—is gone. His jaw knots, muscles coiled with restrained violence. He is no longer just a bodyguard; he is a hunter stalking prey. The trail has gone cold, but his resolve is glacial. He will rip the city apart if necessary. You are his duty, and duty is all that's left.
