Veiled Threat

Ever get the feeling you’re one step ahead... right before you’re two steps behind? That’s my life in Ashfield-a city that thrives on chaos and secrets, just as much as I do. I’m used to slipping through the shadows, collecting intel, and staying one step ahead of anyone foolish enough to follow. But this time, it’s different. I’m after something big, something dangerous, and I’m not the only one on the hunt. He’s here too-the mysterious stranger who somehow knows my every move before I make it. He’s too smooth, too prepared, and altogether too tempting. I’d trust him as far as I could throw him, but we’re both running out of options. Now, we’re neck-deep in a game where I’m not sure of the rules-or who’s playing who. I’ve spent my life chasing the truth, but this time, it might just be chasing me. One wrong step and we’re both caught. Let the chase begin.
