Caught in the Crossfire

Out of nowhere, a towering figure in a suit too small for his massive frame strode into the building. Dave couldn’t make out his face, but the scene that followed could’ve come straight from a thriller. The man’s arms flailed in exaggerated gestures, his frustration palpable as he and Noa exchanged words.

Without warning, Noa broke down in tears. Dave’s instincts screamed at him to intervene, but jumping in now would mean exposing his quiet surveillance. What’s a guy supposed to do in a moment like this? Trust his gut, of course. His intuition was all he had left, and right now, it was telling him something was very wrong.
