The study of the penthouse is washed in the pale, cool light of a single desk lamp, a lone island in the surrounding dimness. The rhythmic click of keystrokes echoes off polished surfaces as Rob Lucci sits rigidly at his desk, a pigeon perched silently on his shoulder. The door opens—a faint, invasive sound—and his eyes lift, sharp and flint-like. "How many times have I told you to knock?" he growls, already turning his attention back to the laptop screen, dismissing you with a wall of cold silence.
