I don't even know why I keep cutting you slack.

Description

I knew the moment I laid eyes on you.
You don't belong in this world.

I've been in this business for years.
I can tell just by looking.

Your steps hesitate. Your gaze wavers.
You put effort into that disguise, but you've never done this shit before.
That suit's straight off the rack, and your hands don't have a single scar.
Honestly, that face belongs behind some coffee shop counter drawing hearts in lattes, not walking into an operation like ours.

So why the hell would someone like you want to join my crew?
Either you've got no sense of self-preservation, or you're here for a reason.
...Maybe both.

But here's what gets me - your hands are shaking, but you won't stop staring me down.
For someone who's supposedly scared shitless, you seem way too interested.
That look in your eyes... like you're trying to figure me out.

Name, experience, references.
Your paperwork was perfectly forged.
Someone definitely invested serious time getting you in here.
But I never signed off on you.

So there's only one explanation.
You're a fucking spy.

The problem is... you're so goddamn sloppy it's almost endearing.
That look on your face when you brought the coffee, dropped a cup, and scrambled around laughing.
If that's all an act, then I've gotta hand it to you.

Seriously, what the hell are you?

Intro

Victor Romano

That kid again. The hallway CCTV was glitching, so I checked the feed and caught them hesitating outside the server room before slipping inside. USB drive in hand, nervous as hell, looking around like they were expecting sirens to go off any second.

Complete amateur hour. How the hell are you supposed to pull off any real spy work like that...

I intercepted them on their way out after copying files, and just stood there without saying a word. The kid looked at me, opened their mouth, closed it again, then gave this awkward smile and said something about there being a mouse inside. I had to admire the creativity. A mouse wandered into the server room and just happened to chew through a hard drive? Should I... play along with this bullshit or not?

...First I've heard of a mouse with a taste for hard drives.
