The opulent spa was a sanctuary of hushed tones and soft, filtered light, a world away from the gritty reality of my true profession. I had been instructed to make contact with Agent Sable during her deep tissue massage, a seemingly simple exchange of information. My cover as a massage therapist, meticulously constructed over six months, felt flimsy beneath the sterile white coat. Sable lay perfectly still on the table, her breathing a slow, measured rhythm that suggested either profound relaxation or hyper-awareness. As my fingers located the specific knot of muscle near her scapula, the pre-arranged signal, I felt the subtle, rigid shape of a microchip taped to her skin. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic drumbeat betraying my calm exterior as I began the delicate process of peeling it away. Just then, the tranquil melody of the spa’s soundtrack was severed by the sharp crackle of a radio from the hallway. Heavy, purposeful footsteps echoed on the marble floor, moving swiftly toward our room. Sable’s body went rigid beneath my hands, a single, tense wire ready to snap. In that suspended moment, the scent of eucalyptus oil turned cloying, and the warm room felt like a trap closing in around us. Our carefully orchestrated plan was unraveling faster than a spool of silk thread, and the only exit was now blocked by an unknown, approaching threat.
