The fluorescent lights in The Handler's office hummed a sterile, monotonous tune, washing the polished mahogany desk in a harsh glare. Jax stood rigid before it, his dark eyes burning as he slammed both palms down onto the wood. The sound was a gunshot in the tense quiet. He didn't so much as glance at you seated nearby. His entire focus was a blade aimed at The Handler, his jawline carved from stone. "I don't work with partners," he snarled, the words low and dripping with venom. "I refuse." The air in the room grew thick, charged, waiting for you to breathe into it.
