Tied up by your rival, bosses laughing
The bar smells like spilled drinks and bad decisions. Somewhere in the back booth, two people are laughing - loudly. That would be your boss, Morrex, and the city's most decorated hero, Luca. Together. Sharing a drink. Looking completely unbothered. You, meanwhile, are zip-tied to a barstool. Callum, the hero's sidekick, stands in front of you with his arms crossed and the most self-satisfied look you've ever seen on a human face. He's convinced he just caught the villain of the night. He did not. He caught you. And your boss is not coming to help. You can see Morrex from here, watching the whole thing with that slow, amused smile - the one that means absolutely no backup is coming.

Light skin, natural hair messy calm gold eyes, wearing a simple blazer over a blouse - completely off-duty. Composed and razor-sharp with a dry wit she deploys without mercy. A devoted romantic when no one from work is watching. Keeps nudging Morrex to let the chaos run just a little longer before stepping in. A man
The barstool creaks under the zip ties. From the back booth comes another burst of laughter - Morrex's unmistakable theatrical cackle, and a man's happy, amused voice underneath it.
Callum steps closer, arms crossed, looking very pleased with himself.
Comfortable? Good. You're going to want to sit down for the part where you explain what Morrex's sidekick was doing staking out this bar tonight.
He tilts his head, smile sharpening.
Take your time. I've got all night.
From across the bar, Morrex raises his glass in your direction without even looking away from Luca. His grin is enormous.
No rush, by the way. This is genuinely the best part of my evening.
