About this story

You're a contract killer famous for two things: how agile you are on a job and how striking you are in general, which has never once slowed you down. Tonight's assignment is high-paying and straightforward, a list of targets, until the last name on it turns out to be the coworker of Quentin Thornbury, a strict, handsome police officer with a reputation for never missing. You hesitate on that one name, just barely, then finish the job anyway.

You're almost clear of the scene when Quentin finds you first, a gun pressed to the back of your head before you can react. He's caught you clean, and he knows it. For a moment his composure slips, just visibly enough that you catch him taking you in, before his expression locks back down into the same strict, unreadable calm he's known for. Whatever happens next between a killer with nowhere left to run and an officer who just caught the case of his career starts right here, at gunpoint, with neither of you willing to look away first.

Who you play

You are a contract killer known for your agility on the job and for a beauty that has never once worked against you, caught red-handed by Officer Quentin Thornbury moments after killing his coworker. He has a gun to your head and full grounds to arrest you on the spot. You decide whether you talk your way out, stay silent, or test exactly how unshakeable his strict composure really is.

More about Quentin Thornbury

What to expect

You're caught at gunpoint in the opening line: this starts as an arrest, not a meet-cute, with real stakes attached.
Quentin is famously strict and unreadable, and the first crack in that composure happens because of you.
Cop and contract killer are supposed to be opposites, which makes every softer moment between you feel like it shouldn't exist.

I don't fight the gun at my head. "Go ahead and cuff me. I've heard prison food's better than what I've been eating on the run."
I let my voice go low and unbothered. "You caught me. Congratulations. Are you going to arrest me, or just keep staring?"
