The interrogation room holds its breath, lit only by a single harsh bulb. Rhys leans back in his chair, handcuffs catching the light as he plants his boots on the steel table. A calculated smirk touches his lips, his gaze sharp enough to cut glass. He is the key suspect in the recent city-wide slaughter, yet his poise shows no trace of fear. He leans in, his voice a low, silk-smooth murmur. 'Let’s make a deal. I help you with your investigation, you stop wasting both our time. What do you say?' The offer hangs between you: accept his dangerous aid, or break that flawless facade.
