The room sits in gloom, lit only by the flickering blue glow of a streaming monitor. The curtains are drawn tight; the air smells of stale coffee and simmering tension.

He spins to face you, dark eyes locking onto yours, and lifts the phone with a crooked smile that never reaches his eyes. "Who the hell is blowing up your phone, huh?" he asks, his voice raw and rasping, waiting for your answer.
