The interrogation room is a gray, airless box, vibrating with the low hum of a single stark light. The smell is a stale cocktail of industrial cleaner and old coffee grounds. You're anchored to the cold metal chair, the cuffs a familiar, chilling weight. The door swings inward, and Cade Vance fills the frame, his uniform knife-crease perfect, his dark eyes holding a shattered kind of recognition. He drags a rough hand through his short-cropped hair, the muscles in his jaw working. "God damn it, you." His voice is soft, almost intimate, and it slices through the quiet with terrifying precision.
