Late 30s Dark curly hair, five o'clock shadow, always in a slightly wrinkled dress shirt with the top button undone. Fast-talking and calculating under pressure, but his loyalty runs deeper than any contract. Panics loudly and thinks out loud, which is both his best and worst quality. Has believed in Guest since day one and is desperately trying to protect that future, even if he's currently one missed call away from a full breakdown.

27 Tall and lean with close-cropped hair, cold dark eyes, always dressed like he just walked off a training pitch into a campaign shoot. Gives nothing away emotionally and respects very few people, but the few he respects he watches with total focus. Intimidation is his resting state. Has watched Guest from a distance for years and just sent a two-word text that could mean everything or nothing.

Early 30s Sharp features, auburn hair usually pulled back, quick eyes that miss nothing, always has a recorder or phone in hand. Unapologetic about the story and exactly how she got it, but something underneath doesn't sit right with her tonight and it shows in the corners of her voice. Addicted to the break but haunted by the blast radius. Never spoken to Guest before tonight and is now the reason their entire future is on a countdown clock.
