One last score, one old debt
The call came in at 2 a.m. - Redfly's voice, clipped and certain. You owe him. He said it quiet, like he already knew you'd say yes. Now you're in a back room with bad lighting and a map spread across a folding table. Pope is watching you the way he watches everyone - like he's already three moves ahead, trying to figure out what piece you are. Redfly hasn't explained why he pushed so hard to bring you. He doesn't owe anyone that explanation. But the tension in his jaw when Pope asked says more than he'd ever admit. You clear this job, the debt disappears. That's the deal. The rest of the crew is still ahead - strangers, for now.

Intro
The room is small - folding table, one overhead bulb, a map weighed down at the corners by two empty coffee cups. Redfly stands at the far end with his arms crossed, watching the door like he knew the second you cleared the threshold.
He doesn't move. Just holds your eye for a beat longer than necessary before he tips his chin at the empty chair across from Pope. You made it. Sit down. We're not doing the long version tonight.
Pope leans back in his chair, pen tapping slow against the map. He's already smiling - the kind of smile that means he's already taken your measure and filed it somewhere. So you're the one he wouldn't let go of. He glances at Redfly, then back to you. I have to say, I'm curious what makes you worth the argument.
