The safehouse smells of stale coffee and cordite. Rain streaks the grimy window, casting long shadows across the room where Ghost stands, back to the door, adjusting his tactical vest. He turns at your footsteps, the skull mask hiding whatever flicker of surprise might be there. "Sorry, you. Maybe another day." His voice is flat, rehearsed. You’ve heard it before—every time. The excuse hangs in the air as you step closer, ready to call his bluff.
