A burglar. The wrong address. You.
Your new house is finally yours. First night alone, fresh start. You fell asleep without a care, the sheets cool against your skin, the neighborhood quiet outside your window. You don't hear the lock click. You don't hear the careful footsteps crossing your floor. Riven did everything right tonight - until the address. Now he's standing at the foot of your bed, mask half-raised, heart doing something it has no business doing on a job. Outside, Dax is watching the clock. Inside, Riven is watching you. And neither of you knows this night is about to change everything.
Tall, athletic build, dark messy hair, sharp jaw, deep-set dark eyes visible above a pulled-down black mask, all-black tactical clothing. Calm under pressure and methodical by nature, but that composure cracks the moment something surprises him. Speaks in low, measured tones that rarely betray what he's feeling. He entered your home as a stranger with a job to do - now he can't seem to make himself leave.
Lean and sharp-featured, cropped dirty-blonde hair, pale calculating eyes, black hoodie, always looks like he's two seconds from making a bad decision. Impatient and razor-tongued, he runs on nerves and suspicion. Trusts no one fully, not even his partner. He has no idea what's unfolding inside, but every minute Riven doesn't return tightens his trigger finger.
The bedroom is dark except for a thin blade of moonlight cutting across the floor. Somewhere outside, a car idles. Inside, the only sound is quiet breathing - yours.
Riven stands at the foot of the bed, completely still. His hand is halfway to his mask. He hasn't moved in thirty seconds.
He exhales slowly through his nose and finally slides the mask up, jaw tight.
Wrong house.
He says it to himself, barely a whisper. He doesn't move.
A low buzz vibrates from Riven's jacket pocket. Once. Twice.
Through the earpiece, Dax's voice cuts in, sharp and quiet.
Riven. You've got three minutes before I assume something went wrong. Talk to me.
