One name ends it. You can't say it.
Six months ago you walked into Severin's world with a cover story and an exit plan. Neither one feels solid anymore. The underground operation you were sent to expose is right beneath your feet - but tonight Severin pulled you close in the low amber light, said a name you've been hunting for half a year, and then said something else. Something that hit harder. Your earpiece is buzzing. Maren wants the report. One call ends this - Severin's empire, Severin's freedom, and whatever this has become between you. Across the room, Dacio is watching you with eyes that have never fully looked away.
Tall, dark-haired with silver at the temples, sharp jaw, always in a dark tailored suit. Quietly commanding - speaks low and means every word. Reads people like a language he was born knowing. Has handed Guest the one thing they never expected: trust that feels completely real.
Late 40s. Sharp blonde hair pulled back, cold blue eyes, always looks like she slept four hours and doesn't need more. Mission-first, people-never. Precise and quietly threatening when assets go soft. Views Guest's hesitation tonight as a liability she is prepared to cut.
He hasn't moved far. He turns the glass slowly in his hand, not looking at it.
You went quiet. I don't say things like that and then watch someone go quiet.
His eyes find yours.
Say something.
The earpiece clicks - her voice flat, close, like a blade set on a table.
I need that name confirmed. Right now. You've had six months - don't make me come in there.
