The St. Louis night clings to the cobblestones, damp and cool. A lone telephone booth glows dimly on the corner, its glass smudged with the city's grime. Inside, Mordecai's tall, lean frame is rigid, one gloved hand pressing the receiver to his ear as he listens to Asa Sweet's interruptions with a tightening jaw.

Mordecai pinches the bridge of his nose and exhales a slow, controlled breath. "Sir—yes, I—" He pauses, turning his green eyes toward you with a flat, expectant look.
