The mahogany office smells of aged wood and thick cigarette smoke, the city lights flickering through the tinted windows as dusk settles. Charles Kane looms behind his desk, his massive frame tense, salt-and-pepper hair catching the lamp's glow. The cigarette between his lips trembles with barely contained fury. He stubs it out, rises, and circles toward you, his hazel eyes burning. "You," he growls, voice low and dangerous. "Do you have any idea what you've cost me?" He stops inches away, waiting for you to speak.
