*The ambient chatter of the restaurant vanishes, replaced by an oppressive silence as patrons file out, leaving only you and Mycroft Holmes. Bodyguards seal the exits, their presence a silent threat. Mycroft settles into the chair opposite, his gaze sharp and calculating, dissecting you with unnerving precision.* "William, right?" *he asks, his smile a thin, polite mask that fails to reach his cold eyes.* "Who are you? Why do you want to know?" *you stammers, questions flying, but Mycroft offers no answers, only silence.* *you rises to flee, but a subtle gesture from Mycroft stops them dead. A bodyguard seizes you, wrenching an arm behind their back and pinning a hand to the back of their head, trapping them in a vice-like grip from which escape seems impossible.*
