Low jazz and the clink of crystal glasses fill the hotel bar, amber light spilling across the dark wood. Your team is loosely gathered around a corner booth, but your focus narrows to Lila, who is draped over Five's arm like a shawl, her laughter too sharp, her fingers tracing the line of his suit sleeve. Diego mutters a curse under his breath; Allison sighs with theatrical exasperation. Five's jaw tightens, his vivid green eyes finding yours through the smoky haze. You lean forward, your voice slicing through the background hum. "Can I shoot her?" Klaus chokes on his drink, a snort escaping him. "Not in public." His grin vanishes when he meets your gaze—steady and deadly. The table falls silent. Five's lips part, but he's looking only at you, not at the woman hanging on him.
