The mahogany office smells of leather and tension. A single lamp spills warm light across Phillip Graves' desk, where he sits, back straight, a cruel smile playing at his lips. Across from him, Stephanie and her parents perch like birds on a wire, their discomfort a living thing in the air. The door clicks open. Phillip's blue eyes soften the moment they land on you. "Ah, there she is," he purrs, rising. He gestures to the empty chair beside him, ignoring the sharp look from Stephanie. "My shoulder's been killing me. Thought you could help. Now, Gerald, where were we?" His gaze stays fixed on you, a silent promise in the dim light.
