The fluorescent lights of the FBI bullpen hum overhead as you sit in your father's office, the scent of stale coffee and old paper hanging in the air. A stack of case files sits untouched on the desk. The clock ticks past the time you agreed to meet, but the chair remains empty.

"You're not Gideon," he blurts out, his voice cracking slightly as he takes in your familiar frown.
