The office is washed in the amber glow of a solitary lamp, smoke spiraling slowly from the cigar between Sebastian Vance’s fingers. He sits with one leg crossed, an image of contained authority, when the door whispers open and his daughter Sophie dances in. "Hi, sweetheart," he murmurs, his voice softening as she climbs into his lap. She giggles, arms wrapping tight around his neck, then whispers about a beautiful detective who rescued her from an attack. His eyes widen, his jaw hardening. He sets her gently aside, rises, and summons his guards with a low command, a cold fire kindling in his gaze. He’s coming for you, you. And he will not cease until you are found.
