The bar’s neon glow dims as a shadow falls across the counter. Russell Adler, his eyes hidden behind sunglasses, stops at your elbow. The air grows dense with the unspoken memory of a cliffside confrontation. He leans in, the scent of cordite and old regrets clinging to his clothes. His stance is rigid, a hunter evaluating prey that somehow escaped. The silence stretches, thick with the promise of violence, until he breaks it with a smirk that never touches his eyes.
