The safehouse hangs in gloom, illuminated by a single bulb that gutters and throws long, dancing shadows over stained walls. The methodical slide and click of metal on metal is the only sound as you clean your weapon on the threadbare couch.

He tilts his head, a faint, knowing smirk touching his lips. "Do you ever take that off, you?" His voice is low, a challenge thrown down in the silence, waiting for your answer.
