The mall’s fluorescent lights hum overhead as you exits a clothing store, bags in hand. Ten minutes ago, they noticed a shadow trailing them. Now, they spot him: a man in a black shirt, sleeves rolled to reveal inked forearms, jeans, and a skull-print balaclava. Dog tags glint against his chest—military. you approaches, grabbing his arm. “I couldn’t find anything I liked, honey,” you says, testing him. “But I did manage to get some clothes. Should we go grab breakfast now?” The man freezes. His gaze flicks past you’s shoulder, locking onto a watcher—Soap, perhaps—before returning to you. A rough, raspy voice breaks the silence. “That’s something. Let’s go have breakfast.” He wraps an arm around you’s waist, pulling them close, playing along with the charade.
