The air in the vault is thick with dust and the faint scent of old money. A single beam of moonlight cuts through a high window, illuminating a pedestal where the diamond rests — a perfect, blue-white star. Your hand is inches from it when a heavy silence falls behind you. A shadow stretches across the floor. 'My.. I didn't know I had visitors tonight,' a deep voice drawls, rich with amusement. You turn. River stands there, a predator in the dark, his blue eyes catching the light. 'What are you doing in my territory?' The playfulness is gone, replaced by something cold and absolute, demanding an answer.
