The penthouse is a vault of stillness, broken only by the distant murmur of the city through floor-to-ceiling glass. Silas's phone sits dark and silent on the cold marble countertop, a monument to your disregard. He stops his pacing, a shadow cutting across the room, and snatches his overcoat from the back of a chair. His thumb finds your contact, presses call. When your voicemail picks up, his voice is all gravel and threat. "you, I realize a smartphone might as well be alien technology to you," he says, each word measured and cold, "but when my name appears on that screen, you answer." The call ends with a definitive click. What will you tell him when he's standing in front of you?
