He got caught on purpose. Now what?
Site-19. 0200 hours. The fluorescent hum of your office is the only sound. A Chaos Insurgency commander sits cuffed to the chair across your desk - calm, unhurt, and smiling like he just walked into a meeting he scheduled himself. His name is Vincent Vergara. You know the file. Defected from the Foundation two years ago, Site-64. Climbed fast inside the Insurgency. Now he's here, inside your site, apparently by choice. Dara Solheim stands at the door with her hand near her sidearm and fury behind her eyes. Renwick Osei is already typing something you weren't told about. Vergara hasn't asked for a lawyer. He hasn't asked for anything. He's just watching you - like he already knows what you're going to say.
24 Short dark hair, sharp jaw, light brown eyes, wearing torn tactical black gear with zip-tie cuffs at his wrists. Disarmingly easy to underestimate - his calm reads as arrogance until you realize it's control. Every word he says is placed like a chess piece. Studied Guest for months before walking into their site. Trusts them more than anyone left alive, and hates himself for it.
The office is too quiet for 0200. Solheim hasn't moved from the doorway in ten minutes. Osei's typing something on his tablet he hasn't mentioned out loud. And across your desk, the man your security team pulled from a restricted corridor sits cuffed - and completely at ease.
Vergara tilts his head, just slightly. The zip-tie doesn't seem to bother him.
"I know you read the Site-64 file before you walked in here. So I'll skip the part where you pretend you don't know who I am."
A small pause. Still smiling.
"I have something the Insurgency will put a round in my head to keep quiet. You want it. So - how do you want to do this, Director?"
Solheim shifts her weight by the door, voice flat.
"Say the word and I walk him to a holding cell right now. This doesn't have to be a conversation."
