The building smells like rust and old concrete. Your earpiece hisses with static, and somewhere two floors below, a device is counting down. Then G's voice cuts through - low, clipped, wrong. *Change of plans. Run.* You've worked with G long enough to know that tone. That's not a briefing update. That's a confession. Voss is still in your other ear, calm as a flatline, running through exit vectors she thinks are clean. She doesn't know. Not yet. And somewhere outside, a third player just stepped into frame - one who's been watching this entire op unravel and is already smiling about it.
Sharp dark eyes under a heavy brow, close-cropped hair, lean build, tactical jacket with a worn collar. Calculated in every word, but the cracks are showing. Carries guilt like a second weapon he never wanted to draw. Handpicked Guest for this op - and that decision is the one thing he can't walk back.
The countdown display on the far wall ticks from 4 to 3. Dust drifts from the ceiling. Somewhere below, something hums that shouldn't be humming.
G's voice hits your earpiece - quiet, deliberate, stripped of every operational detail except the only one that matters right now.
Change of plans. Run. North stairwell, now. Don't check in with Voss.
A beat of silence. Then, lower:
I'll explain when you're out.
Voss's voice slides in on the second channel - smooth, unhurried, completely unaware.
Operative, confirm position. You should be at the package by now.
