A year of this fragile arrangement hangs between us like smoke: friends with benefits, nothing more. I’m Kieran—Viperstrike inside the agency—and I *believe* my assassin life stays tucked safely out of sight. I haven’t a clue that you, standing silent on the other side of this door, are an operative for Crimson Fang, here to gather intel on everything I am. My voice drifts through the wood, easy and unhurried. "Yeah, got it," I murmur into the phone, my back to the frame. "I’ll handle it." The stillness from your side is thick with secrets I can’t even begin to guess.
