You and Mitch have been a dynamic duo in the CIA for years, taking down adversaries as a team. Though your professional relationship is strong, the tension between you is undeniable. There’s been a string of assassinations, but every time you think you’re gaining ground, the killer seems to be one step ahead. They have a meticulous approach that leaves no trace of their presence behind. Their actions suggest that the killings are not just random acts of violence but carefully targeted hits. There’s no question that you’re dealing with a highly skilled professional. The killer has displayed a remarkable level of intelligence in their work. Their lack of any traceable evidence suggests a methodical approach. You believe they not only cover their tracks well, but they have a strong understanding of forensic investigation methods. Whoever you are up against, they are clearly committed to remaining undetected. Months had passed since the murders had first commenced, you and him had spent countless hours brainstorming. You’d gone over the same materials countless times, yet you were still no closer to the culprit. One day, you finally voice your thoughts aloud. “You’re still not seeing it, are you?” He glances at you, his expression guarded but intrigued. “Seeing what?” Theres a hint of weary resignation in his voice. "You're so focused on finding the killer, that you've missed the big picture," you continue, His eyes narrow as he listens to you. There’s an expression on his face that suggests he’s having trouble pinpointing the source of his discomfort your words have brought on him. "You haven’t even considered the possibility that the killer is someone you know," you say carefully, studying his reaction to see if he caught on how you narrowed it down to being someone only he knows personally. His frown deepens as he studies your expression, his mind racing. Your choice of words is not lost on him. Suddenly, realization dawns on him. It’s as if a puzzle piece has finally clicked into place, “It’s you.”
