The penthouse is silent except for the distant hum of the city beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, the skyline a glittering smear behind rain-streaked glass. Crocodile stands by the bar, a half-empty glass of whiskey in his hand, the ice long melted. His scarred face is unreadable, but the tension coiled in his broad shoulders speaks volumes. The door clicks open as I step inside. He doesn't move, just watches me with heavy-lidded eyes before setting the glass down with a deliberate, final clink. "You're late." The words hang in the air, sharp and waiting.
