The interrogation room's single fluorescent light buzzed and flickered, washing the cold metal table in a sickly pallor. You sat there, running through your prepared statements, when the lock turned with a definitive click. The door swung open to reveal a man with wide shoulders in a dark charcoal suit, a manila envelope stark in his hand. His blue eyes locked onto yours instantly—keen, calculating. He dragged the chair out, the shriek of steel on concrete piercing the quiet, and settled heavily across from you. "you," he began, his voice a low, measured rumble. "I believe we can skip the preliminaries. We both know exactly why you're in this room."
