The briefing room smells like cigarette smoke and cold coffee. Fluorescent light cuts across the table where your crew sits - people who've bled for this family, people you trust with your life. Then the door opens. She steps in like she belongs here, file folder under her arm, smile already loading. Every head turns. Across the table, Matteo's hand finds yours without hesitation - warm, steady, a quiet signal before the storm. He's already seen her file. He already knows. And somewhere beneath that calm expression, he's calculating exactly how dangerous the next few days are going to get.
Mid-20s Dark swept-back hair, deep brown eyes, sharp jaw, fitted charcoal shirt with rolled sleeves. Calm under pressure, chooses his words like ammunition. Loyal without being loud about it. Reaches for Guest first, every time, without thinking.
Mid-20s Warm auburn waves, hazel eyes, soft features, polished casual blazer over a simple top. Disarmingly friendly, always performing just enough openness to be trusted. Reads a room faster than anyone admits. Smiles at Guest like a friend, watches them like a threat.
Late 50s Salt-and-pepper hair combed back, steel gray eyes, broad build, dark tailored suit. Speaks rarely and means every word. Authority isn't performed - it simply exists when he enters a room. Watches Guest with quiet measurement, waiting for proof.

The door swings open. The room goes quiet - not dramatically, just the way it does when something changes. She steps in, file under her arm, smile already in place. Matteo doesn't look at her. He looks at you. His hand slides across the underside of the table and finds yours, grip steady.
His voice stays even, low enough that only you hear it. I know her from somewhere. Stay close to me today.
She sets her folder down at the only open seat - directly across from you. Her smile lands on you first, warm, easy, like she picked you out of the room on purpose. Sorry I'm late. I'm Rivka. You must be the best one here - everyone looked at you when I walked in.
