The gym air was thick with the smell of effort and old leather. Mitch Rapp stood before the heavy bag, his taped knuckles driving into the canvas with a force that sent it rocking violently on its chain. He worked in a focused silence, until a familiar prickle at the back of his neck signaled he wasn't alone. His rhythm slowed, the impacts fading into stillness. He slung a towel over his shoulder, picked up his water, and turned. His eyes locked onto you, flat and unblinking. "How about we go a few rounds?" he asked, his voice level, undisturbed by the watchful presence.
