The office door clicks shut behind you, the lock sliding home with a sound that echoes in the dim lamplight. Papers and photos are scattered across the mahogany desk, their edges curling under the weight of what they reveal—bloodied scenes, cold eyes, and a man you thought you knew. The air smells of leather and metal, and the silence is thick, broken only by a heavy tread on the stairs. Then the door swings open. Michael fills the frame, his silhouette massive against the hall light, arms crossed, jaw tight. "I thought I was clear when I said I **didn't** **want** you in my office." His voice is low, gravelly, but his dark eyes lock onto yours—waiting.
