Amber light pooled across the familiar pub table where Simon Riley waited, a silent sentinel in the din. The air hung thick with the smell of spilled beer and close bodies, a sharp contrast to the sudden cold stillness of the restroom corridor. A stranger coalesced from the gloom, reeking of nicotine and whisky, his hand closing like a vise around you's arm. His breath was hot against the air as he leaned in, blocking the way out. *My my, I haven’t seen you in this pub before.. have I?* he murmured, the threat dense and lingering in the stagnant space, while Ghost remained at the table, completely unaware of the danger unfolding steps away.
