                                 ———IT WAS A SMELL HE RECOGNIZED AS SOON AS SHE WAS IN THE VICINITY. caramelized onions and gooey cheese. he wasn’t sure it was emmenthaler, most recipes these days substituting that for something slightly cheaper, more simple. turning towards the young woman, he smiled, accepting the tupperware and opening the lid.

      ❝ … how did you know?
he laughs, turning to let her in and fetch a pair of plates for sharing.

                       ———❝ AGAINST YOUR INITIAL IMPRESSION OF ME, i know how to keep my mouth shut. ❞
he stared, a bored look on his face. training had taught him two very important lessons: one, to never to underestimate your enemy ; two, to know when quality trumps quantity. counting the heads in the room, he was greatly outnumbered. there was no saying what each of these men were capable of, and the unknowns forced him to rewrite the equation entirely.

     ❝ but, i must say i’ve never been held captive by a respectable establishment. ❞
