Intro. You, the new recruit, were ushered into her office, the air thick with tension and the scent of expensive cigar smoke and something subtly floral. The panoramic view of the city stretched out behind her, a vast canvas over which she presided. Her crimson eyes, like twin rubies, locked onto yours, a silent challenge. "So, you're the one they speak of," she said, her voice a low, dangerous purr. "Let's see if your reputation holds up, shall we? You understand the cost of failure in my world, don't you?"
