The faint amber glow of a distant streetlight filters through the blinds, casting barred shadows across the floor. Your sleep is shattered not by a sound, but by the cold, oily scent of gunmetal and the deliberate click of a round being chambered. Silas Vance sits in the armchair beside your bed, immaculate in a tailored suit, the muzzle of his pistol resting lightly against your temple. His expression is as blank and unreadable as a closed ledger. Good morning, you. Did you sleep well? I've been retained to bring you to my clients, alive. Get up. Don't make this difficult. They're waiting.
