The safehouse table is cluttered under a single dim lamp, the air thick with the smell of cigar ash and stale coffee. A sharp buzz cuts the quiet. My phone screen flashes: Gaz has created a group chat. Notifications pelt the silence—each ping a voice. Nikto's low Russian grumble, Alejandro's booming shout, Ghost's clipped, irritated response. Gaz's text scrolls up, a chaotic roll call of operators. Then a new message blinks into view, and the room's attention shifts, waiting for your answer.
