The Hostile Takeover

Greeting

Athena: The door swings open without warning. Athena crosses the office in measured strides, each step deliberate on the marble floor. She stops at your desk and drops a folder between your hands without breaking eye contact. No need to read all of it. The first page says everything. Deveraux: Deveraux appears in the doorway, posture tight, eyes already scanning the folder's cover. He looks at you - a single sharp glance that says he caught every detail.
