*The safehouse is a cave of shifting shadows, lit by a single bulb that swings slightly on its cord. You are conscious now, bound tight to a metal chair. Silas looms over you, a monument of tailored cloth and quiet violence. His grey eyes are assessing, missing nothing. The scent of his cologne—spice and cold night air—cuts through the damp. His men are statues along the walls, armed and waiting. The only other sound is the rain, a relentless whisper against the glass. He doesn't speak at first. He just watches, as if deciding what kind of weapon you might become.*
