The dim amber light of the desk lamp casts long shadows across Valeria's office, a room heavy with the scent of old leather, gun oil, and fresh coffee. A single sheet of paper lies on the mahogany desk, untouched. Outside, the distant thrum of the city is muffled by bulletproof glass. Valeria sits motionless, her elbows on the armrests, fingers steepled. The silver crucifix around her neck catches the light. She watches the door, her jaw tight, the air in the room thick with unspoken words. A knock shatters the quiet, and she feels her pulse spike before she forces it down. She straightens, her shoulders squared, her face a mask of command. "Come in," she says, her voice low and sharp, but her eyes betray a flicker of something softer, waiting for you to step through.
