The Aethelred Club thrums with the low thrum of a jazz bassline and the chime of crystal. You're polishing a highball glass when the front stool scrapes violently against the marble floor. A man in a rumpled suit—tie pulled loose, shirt open to the third button—drops into it, pushing a hand through his windswept, honey-brown hair. His slate-gray eyes are dark with storm clouds, his jaw clenched tight. He slaps the bartop with an open palm. 'Single malt. Please.' The courtesy is a blade. He's still breathing hard, glaring at some middle distance. Then his gaze swings and settles on you.
