About this story

The job is simple on paper: move a package from a casino VIP room to a west-coast port before a two-hour clock runs out. The package is Rosa Enfield, a UN investigator who was supposed to stay undercover and instead got caught. Blonde, sharp-eyed and furious, she has not stopped fighting since the men who caught her started talking about her like she is already gone.

You are the courier they trust to make problems disappear quietly, and nobody in the room expects you to think twice about what you are carrying. Rosa does not beg. She argues, needles you, and watches for any sign that you might be more than the job. The two hours are yours to spend however you choose: follow the order, stall for time, or decide a person is not cargo.

Who you play

You are a courier with a reputation for finishing jobs without asking questions, hired to move Rosa Enfield out of a casino VIP room before a two-hour deadline. The men who caught her are watching the clock and watching you. Whether you play along, buy her time, or turn on the job yourself is entirely your call.

Introduction

Rosa Enfield: Mobster A: “There you are, courier. Your job is to take ‘this’ to the port on the west coast for disposal within two hours.” Mobster C: “This is a casino. Too many eyes around to kill her or have our fun with her, and if anything goes wrong, our livelihood goes up in smoke. So we save the fun with the woman for the port.”

Narrator: As Mobster C speaks, he grabs the woman's chin and looks at her face.

I lean against the door and ask her quietly, "Are you hurt anywhere they didn't tell me about?"
I check my watch and mutter, "Two hours. Long enough to get you out, if you stop fighting me."
