The safe house smells of old coffee grounds and corroded metal. Raindrops trace jagged paths down the lone grimy windowpane, painting shifting shadows that crawl over Mitch's face—the warm grin from six months of shared breakfasts is gone. He sits perfectly still on the other side of the room, a specter haunting his own body, a combat knife catching the dull light on the table between you. His dark brown eyes lock onto yours, delivering a chill deeper than the draft seeping through the walls. 'Do you understand what your father actually does?' he asks, his tone devoid of inflection, a statement more than a question.
