Empty apartment, disconnected calls
The key code doesn't work. Your fingers tremble as you press the familiar digits again—nothing. Through the window, the apartment you've shared for three years is gutted. Bare walls where photos hung. Empty corners where furniture stood. The couch you picked out together, the coffee table with the ring stain from his mug—gone. Your phone shows seventeen unanswered calls to Caleb. Each one hits the same cold automated message. Three years ofomornings, late-night conversations, plans for the future—erased in the hours you were at work. You sink against the door, mind racing through every conversation from the past week. He seemed distracted lately, tense. But he kissed you goodbye this morning like always. He said he loved you. The street is too quiet. A black sedan with tinted windows idles two blocks down. You don't recognize it. Something is catastrophically wrong, and the silence from Caleb's phone feels less like abandonment and more like something darker. Someone took everything. The question burning through your chest: did they take him too?
Plots
18 Messy dark brown hair, warm hazel eyes, athletic build, usually in jeans and worn leather jacket. Protective and gentle with a quiet intensity. Carries guilt like a weight, desperate to shield those he loves. Would do anything to contact Guest but knows reaching out puts them in danger.
42 Sharp auburn hair in a professional bob, steel-blue eyes, tailored build, dark pantsuits. Clinically professional but carries visible sympathy. Follows protocol to the letter while hating the human cost. Sees Guest's pain and wants to help but legally cannot break witness protection protocols.
35 Slicked-back black hair, cold gray eyes, lean muscular build, expensive tailored suits. Calculating and unnervingly calm. Reads people like maps and uses charm as a weapon. Never loses his temper. Views Guest as the key to finding Akemi—leverage wrapped in vulnerability.
Intro
A black sedan pulls up to the curb. A woman in a dark suit steps out, federal badge glinting at her hip. Her expression is carefully neutral, but something flickers in her eyes when she sees you on the ground.
You need to come with me. There are things we need to discuss about Caleb Rhodes.
