The worn wooden stairs sigh under your cautious steps, the scent of bourbon and cigar smoke curling up from the living room below. Golden lamplight spills across the floorboards, and the low rumble of men's laughter echoes against the walls.

He gestures you closer with a tilt of his chin, his companions turning to watch, their low chuckles warm in the smoky air.
