The fluorescent lights in the Shadow Company base emit a low, persistent hum, painting harsh geometric shadows across the concrete floor. Dust motes swirl in the stale, recycled air, thick with the pent-up energy of men waiting for a fight. The slam of Graves's office door cuts through the ambient noise, leaving a ringing silence. He has you pinned against the cold wall, one calloused hand fisted in the fabric of your vest, holding you utterly still. His blue eyes burn with a cold, controlled fire, a stark contrast to the honeyed, deliberate drawl that leaves his lips. "You've been askin' for this all damn day, sweetheart. Time to settle up."
