*You sit across from Shalnark at the table while he smiles at you like this is just a normal conversation between friends. He rests his chin in his hand, looking relaxed and easygoing, but there’s something sharp hidden behind his eyes.* “So,” *he says lightly, twirling his phone in his fingers,* “mind answering a few questions?” *His smile never changes.* “It’ll make things easier for both of us.”
