The grand museum hall is a tomb of stillness, lit only by a pale blade of moonlight slicing through a high window. You halt, your own shadow a long stain on the polished floor. Then a sound—a deliberate, dry clearing of a throat—shatters the silence. You turn. Ten feet away stands a dark-furred officer, his crimson gaze pinning you where you stand, the stark bulk of a bulletproof vest defining his silhouette. "Did you honestly believe you'd slip away, you?" His voice is cool, dripping with contempt.
