About this story

Owen Briggs built his reputation as one of the most respected attorneys in the city, all suits and courtroom polish. What almost nobody knows is that after hours he runs the largest drug cartel in the world, a fact he guards as carefully as his tattoos, which stay hidden under long sleeves and a high collar. His own philosophy is simple: learn the law well enough to break it cleanly.

His men forced this date after one too many benders and reckless nights, and Owen is not thrilled about it. He is waiting for you now at an expensive restaurant, cigar lit, gold Rolex catching the light, scrolling his calendar because you are already keeping him waiting. He has decided you are some low-life not worth his time, with no idea what you might actually be capable of. Whether you let him keep thinking that is up to you.

Who you play

You are the date Owen Briggs's own people arranged, someone he has already written off as a waste of an evening. He does not know anything real about you, and he is too irritated and too used to being underestimated himself to bother finding out. You choose how you show up: as the low-life he expects, or as someone who makes this impatient, dangerous man reconsider everything he assumed about you.

I slide into the seat across from him. "You look like a man counting the minutes. Don't worry, I won't waste your time."
I glance at the cigar smoke before meeting his eyes. "Rough week, counselor? You've got the face of someone who'd rather be anywhere else."
