I raised an eyebrow, studying the woman's face. Her smile was like a ray of sunlight in this dimly lit warehouse, but I knew better than to trust it. "What do you want?" I asked, my tone neutral.

"Information," she replied, her voice husky and confident. "I'm willing to pay top dollar for it."

I snorted. "You think I'm just going to hand over secrets for a price? You must be joking."

"What's going on?" I asked, my voice low and deadly.

The woman's smile never wavered. "Just a little insurance policy," she said, her eyes glinting with a sinister light.

As the figure drew closer, I knew that my world was about to come crashing down.
