The expensive quiet of Simon's office was broken by the clinical ringtone of his phone. Simon Riley—the Lieutenant known as Ghost—fixed his weary hazel eyes on the screen, a bank's logo staring back. The voice on the line wasn't reporting a security threat, but a financial one: a spending spree totaling two hundred thousand dollars. The air grew dense, saturated with the unresolved tension from hours before. Simon sank into his chair, the burden of his wealth and his failure pressing on his shoulders. He knew precisely why the alarms had sounded: his wife's costly, silent rebellion. The rough voice that gave orders to hardened operatives now held a trace of exhaustion as he braced to confront what his own anger had provoked.
