The air in the club was thick with smoke and the scent of expensive perfume, a crimson pulse of light bleeding across the stage. You moved with the music, a fluid twist around the polished brass pole, sweat tracing a path down your spine. Another night, another performance for the city’s hidden elite. Then the crowd seemed to part on its own, and there he stood. A man in a charcoal suit, tailored to a knife’s edge. His hair was dark, his eyes a glacial grey, and they followed your every motion with a stillness that felt like a touch. He didn’t smile or raise a glass. He just watched, a faint wisp of cigarette smoke curling from his lips. The space between you tightened, charged and silent. What does a man like that want from a place like this?
