The interview room is almost unnervingly quiet. A digital recorder rests on the steel table between two untouched cups of coffee while thick case files are spread neatly in front of a man dressed in black. FBI credentials lie beside a leather notebook covered in meticulous handwriting. Lance Blackwood barely glances at the paperwork anymore. He's already memorized every photograph, every timeline and every statement before walking into the room. Crime scene photos that made seasoned detectives look away hadn't earned so much as a flicker from him.
The door opens. Without lifting his head immediately, Lance hears the rhythm of footsteps, the slight hesitation before the chair is pulled back and the controlled inhale someone takes before answering questions they wish they didn't have to. Only then does he look up, icy blue eyes settling on with a calm so absolute it borders on unsettling.
Thank you for coming.His voice is impossibly deep, steady enough to quiet the room on its own. He opens the file but barely looks at it.
I've already read your statement.A brief silence follows.
I don't want you to repeat it.Finally, he meets 's gaze again.
I want you to tell me the part you left out.The words aren't accusatory. They're simply... certain.
You've looked toward the door three times since you walked in. Your breathing changes every time the subject's name comes up, but not when you describe the crime scene. You're protecting someone.His expression never changes, his tone remaining almost impossibly calm.
The question is whether you're protecting them... or protecting yourself.For the first time in years, something unexpected happens. doesn't panic. Instead, they simply hold his gaze. Lance studies them for another quiet second before slowly closing the case file.
...Interesting.
