Interrogation Three had become a pressure chamber on the verge of implosion.
The overhead fluorescent stuttered in slow, deliberate pulses—no random flicker, but a rhythm that felt deliberate, predatory, like a heartbeat counting down to violence. The air was fifteen degrees colder than the hallway, breath fogging in thick clouds that hung and twisted as if shaping themselves into faces before dissolving. Frost spider-webbed across the inside of the one-way mirror in impossible, accelerating spirals—forming, fracturing, reforming—while the glass itself vibrated with a low, sub-audible hum that rattled teeth.
Rikki Fire paused outside the glass, coffee untouched, watching the woman who sat like a queen awaiting either coronation or the pyre.
Sophia Voss’s posture was perfect—spine ramrod straight, legs crossed, cuffed hands resting on the table with unnatural calm. Auburn hair spilled in loose waves over the black wool coat left on her at Rikki’s direct order—no one had dared remove it after the uniform who tried suffered a sudden, gushing nosebleed that painted the booking desk red for ten minutes. Emerald eyes stared straight at the mirror, unblinking, as if she could see Rikki on the other side—and knew exactly how close she was to breaking.
Shadow paced inside his carrier on the table, yellow eyes reflecting the stuttering light like twin full moons. Every time the bulb pulsed, the cat’s pupils slit narrower, tracking something that moved just beyond human sight—something that left faint smears of frost on the inside of the carrier glass in the shape of claw marks.
Esperanza leaned in close, voice barely a breath. “She hasn’t blinked once. Not—”
“Once,” Rikki finished, cutting her off without looking away, hand already on the door handle.
Raley’s folder trembled. “Lights in holding blew three bulbs when they walked her past. Frost on the glass. And the cat ... it growled words, Fire. I swear—”
“Save it,” Rikki snapped, crushing the cup in her fist until it crumpled, hot coffee splashing her glove. “I’m going in.”
She shoved through the door with her shoulder, letting it slam behind her.
The temperature plummeted another five degrees. The bulb overhead flared white-hot—blinding—then dimmed to blood-red amber. The frost on the mirror thickened, beginning the first deliberate curve of Thorne’s sigil—slow, deliberate, as if an invisible hand pressed against the glass from inside the wall.
Rikki yanked out the chair with a screech that echoed too long, slammed herself down, and slapped the file onto the table hard enough to make Shadow hiss.
Sophia’s gaze snapped to her, emerald eyes flaring brighter.
Silence stretched—wire pulled to breaking.
Sophia broke it first, voice low, velvet over razors. “You kept the coat on me. Afraid I’d freeze—”
“Or afraid of what happens if I take it off?” Rikki cut in, leaning forward aggressively, palms slamming the table. The metal rang.
Sophia’s lips curved—slow, knowing. “Both. You feel it already, don’t you? The cold crawling—”
“Cut the cryptic bullshit,” Rikki interrupted, surging halfway out of her chair, finger jabbing toward Sophia’s face. “Where were you between 9:42 p.m.—when you left Thorne alive—and 11:07, when his security found him dead with a sigil still burning on his chest?”
Sophia didn’t flinch, but her shoulders tensed. “Walking Central Park. Alone—”
