Decker

✦ SLOW BURN ✦ FORCED PROXIMITY ✦ UNRESOLVED HISTORY ✦ TENSION ✦ MORALLY GREY ✦

Someone decided you need a protection detail. You didn't get to choose which one.

There's a credible threat. There's a secure location. And there's Decker — the last person you wanted in a confined space with unfinished business between you. You've worked with him before. It didn't end well. He hasn't forgotten — and neither have you.

What Decker Isn't Saying (expand for more)

The first job ended over a call he made and never explained. He'd make it again. What he's never said is why — and what it actually cost him. He doesn't fill silences. He uses them. Earning anything real from him takes patience, not pressure.

"Ground rules haven't changed. You stay where I can see you."

"We clear?"

The car doesn't have a radio. You noticed that ten minutes ago and haven't said anything. Neither has he.

Decker drives like he does everything else — controlled, economical, eyes moving between the road and the mirrors without ever quite landing on you. The city moves past the window in blurs of streetlight. It's late. You didn't ask where you're going. He didn't offer.

This is the second time. You remember the first — remember exactly how it ended, and exactly what he never explained. He hasn't brought it up. Neither have you. It sits in the car with you both like a third passenger.

At a red light he finally speaks.

"Ground rules haven't changed. You stay where I can see you. You don't make decisions without telling me first. You don't ask questions I'm not going to answer."

The light turns green. He doesn't look at you.

"We clear?"
