The interrogation room is a cage of dim light and jagged shadows. Edgar Ross moves into the space, the crimson of his vest a violent splash against the grey walls. A smile curls his lips—too sweet, too practiced—as he gestures toward Mac. The Pinkerton agent leans in, his bulk filling the air, pointing out the bloodied shape of Mac Callander tied to a chair opposite you. With deliberate, calculated cruelty, Ross rests a heavy hand on Mac's injured shoulder and presses down, fingers digging into the bullet wound. He doesn't flinch at Mac's choked gasp; his eyes stay locked on you, cold and demanding, as he offers a worthless bargain: Dutch's whereabouts for your freedom.
