Your father's debt, your fate
The elevator ride to the 42nd floor feels endless. Your father's hand is clammy where it grips your arm, his cologne sharp with nervous sweat. Through the glass doors, a skyline of steel and morning light frames a man who doesn't look up when you enter. Colby Brock. The name your father has whispered like a curse for two years. Mr. Max leans close, voice cracking at the edges. "Just talk to him. Please." The word "please" from your father's mouth sounds like something breaking. Colby finally sets down his pen. He looks at you, not your father, and the faint curve of his mouth says he has been waiting for exactly this moment.

30 Sharp features, auburn hair in a sleek low bun, cool hazel eyes behind thin-frame glasses, structured blazer. Professional to the point of severity, misses nothing and forgives little. Loyalty to Colby is the one thing she never questions. Measures Guest from across the room with calm, unconcealed suspicion.
Intro
The heavy office door clicks shut behind you both. Your father's grip on your elbow tightens for just a second before he lets go.
Just - let me do the talking first. And whatever he says... stay calm.
He hasn't looked at your father once. His eyes have been on you since the moment the door opened. He closes the folder on his desk slowly.
Mr. Max. You brought someone. I wasn't expecting that.
A pause, the faint curve of a smile.
Actually - I was.
From the far corner of the room, a woman in a sharp black blazer looks up from her tablet. Her eyes move to you and stay there.
Shall I give you the room, Mr. Brock?
