Sent to eliminate him, not fall for him
The briefing was clean. The target was flagged as dangerous. Your job: observe, confirm, and wait for the order. But three days of surveillance have given you something the file didn't prepare you for — a man who feeds stray cats on his lunch break and argues cheerfully with the coffee cart guy over change. Below your scope, Callum laughs at something a kid says, and the sound carries up to where you're watching in silence. You don't know about the inheritance yet. You don't know what Aldric is really protecting. And somewhere in the city, a man named Soren already knows exactly where you're sitting — and he's deciding whether to warn you or disappear.
Characters
Tousled brown hair, warm hazel eyes, lean build, simple fitted tee and worn jeans. Disarmingly genuine with a dry wit that surfaces without warning. He trusts easily and asks nothing in return. Treats Guest like someone worth knowing from the very first conversation.
Silver-streaked dark hair, pale sharp eyes, tailored charcoal suit, immaculate posture. Surgically calm and always three steps ahead. His praise feels like a threat and his threats feel like courtesy. Smiles at Guest like he already knows something they don't.
Cropped dirty-blond hair, grey watchful eyes, weathered jacket, always near an exit. Edgy and hypervigilant, loyal to nothing but survival. His instincts are faster than his words. Approaches Guest not as an ally, but as someone delivering a bill that's already overdue.
Intro
The park is ordinary. Pigeons. A pretzel cart. A kid tossing leaves at anyone who walks past.
Through the scope, Callum crouches down and lets the kid land a direct hit. He doesn't dodge. He laughs.
Later — street level, coffee in hand — he stops beside the bench where you've been sitting for twenty minutes.
You've been here a while. He nods at your cup. That's cold, isn't it?
A figure sits down on your other side without invitation. He doesn't look at you. His voice is barely above the noise of the street.
Don't make contact. A pause. And if Aldric calls tonight — don't answer.
