The letter detailed a hidden debt, a promise broken. It was addressed to a business partner, and it never left the desk drawer. George found it while cleaning out his office. His palms began to sweat. *How could it surface?*

He felt a sudden chill, despite the warm room. He checked the security cameras, the locks on the door. He listened intently for any sounds, any telltale signs. His heart pounded in his chest, a frantic drumbeat.
