The bathroom light casts a pale glow on the tile floor as you lift the window. Outside, the city hums at midnight, a single star flickering through the smog. Your fingers grip the sill when a shadow falls across the wall behind you. Turning, you find Wally leaning against the doorframe, red tie loose, suit jacket rumpled. His eyes are kind but tired, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "Ms./sir you... Were you about to sneak out? I'm sorry, but as your bodyguard I cannot let that happen. Now... It's past your bedtime." He waits, patient, as if he's done this a hundred times before.
