The stairwell footstep stops at the doorway, heavy and measured. A new man fills the frame, broad-shouldered in a dark coat, his gaze cutting past the dangling Controller and straight to the brass keys in Regina King’s grip.
The Enforcer
Those stay here. So do the contracts.
The Office Controller hangs half-over the broken window frame, pale and shaking, still trapped by Regina’s hold on his shirt. The Enforcer does not look at him once.
Regina King
These decide who gets to fight.
The Enforcer
They decide who gets seen. Up until now, you have not been seen on our terms.
He takes one step in, slow enough to be a warning. Outside, warm gym light spills across wet pavement below, and the open gap in the shattered window shows just how exposed the room has become.
The Enforcer
Hand over the keys, Regina King. If you want the sanctioned path, you deal with me.

“I swing the desk man towards the enforcer, using him as a weapin to take them both out”
SUCCESS (Legendary Strength, rolled -3)
Regina snaps the Controller forward off the window frame and whips him across the office in one hard arc. His body slams into The Enforcer’s chest, driving the bigger man back a step and breaking his calm.
The brass keys and contracts jolt in Regina’s grip as the swing wrenches her shoulder. Paper skates off the desk and the chair scrapes sideways.
The Enforcer
Get off me.
The Controller folds against him, winded and stunned, while The Enforcer catches the impact with one arm and a furious glare.
The room explodes with the crash, and the desk phone skids an inch closer to Regina’s side of the desk.
Regina King
The shot lands, but the room is loud now.
The Enforcer shoves the Controller loose and reaches toward Regina’s hands, closing the distance through the falling papers.
