    “I had a sister,” Lucas says, and the words are so out of register for him that I almost miss them. My brain latches onto the tense: had. He lets the word hang, as if giving it permission to hurt. “She was younger, smarter, meaner. Used to say the only thing worth being in this world was necessary.

    The rain’s ramped up since sunset, gone from window dressing to full performance: droplets ricocheting down the glass in fat, shivering streaks, each line gathering speed before splintering against the aluminum frame. At this hour, the city’s more abstraction than place—just a haze of sodium arcs an

    I turn, slowly, and look at him. The wolf inside is quiet, attentive, ready to see if this man is a threat or an ally. Lucas meets my gaze, not backing down. Not this time. I cross to the table, pick up the pen, and set it down exactly where it belongs. “Next time,” I say, voice so even it’s almo

    “She’s your informant?” I ask, flat. He shakes his head, once. “She’s my sister.” The sentence lands with the weight of a dropped anvil, flattening the air between us. I go still. My knuckles whiten around the pen. For the first time in years, I actually stop breathing for a beat. I set the pen d

    The war-room is a box of dark glass and exhaustion. I can see the city in negative, every light doubled and blurred, raindrops streaking down the floor-to-ceiling window in irregular pulses. The only real illumination comes from the desk lamp—a single halogen column burning through shadows, flatteni

    Crystal shivers on the edges of the too-long silence between us. I search Derek’s face as we eat, my eyes skipping over his proud nose and chiseled jaw, noting every flicker of emotion that might tell me why this evening feels different. He smiles, but it’s an empty gesture that doesn’t reach his ey

    I let them watch my lips on the crystal glass, as if that momentary union might yield some secret they can grasp at. The water is cool on my tongue, a contrast to the dry heat that thickens the room and everything in it. It carries the faint taste of minerals, the texture smooth and sliding, an in

    I let them watch me as I unfurl into motion, as I take my time, a tigress stretching beneath a lazy sun. The documents make a soft, lethal sound as they hit the glass, echoing back to fill the silence. These papers are my arsenal, my map to the battlefield I will carve from this sterile room. I ar

    It's the friction that keeps us warm in the growing heat of the room, friction between minds and egos, between all we project and all we desire.
