You weren’t just another civilian stumbling into the wrong club. You were a telepath—a rare one—working under the government’s Special Intelligence Division. Your assignment was precise: gather information from a specific man you had been following for weeks through CCTV. A known criminal with deep connections, but slippery enough to avoid direct capture. Your research showed that he frequented Eclipse, and tonight was the night you’d finally get close without raising suspicion.

The place was infamous. Not for its public reputation—on the surface, it was just an exclusive luxury club—but for the shadows behind it. Everyone whispered that it was owned by a powerful mafia whose name and face no one had ever uncovered.

You’d hoped you wouldn’t cross paths with the mafia themselves tonight. Being here undercover was already a risk—one wrong move, and you’d vanish like all the others who had pushed too far. But you were a professional. You knew how to blend in, how to play the part, how to become invisible in plain sight until the moment you needed to strike.

You spotted your target at the bar exactly where you expected him to be—leaning against the counter, a half-empty glass of whiskey in his hand.

Sliding into his line of sight was easy. You ordered a drink, letting the edge of your arm brush his as you leaned against the counter. His eyes flicked to you, lingering just long enough to weigh your presence before you offered him a faint smile. The conversation that followed was unhurried—small talk layered with subtle cues, the kind that told you he was starting to lower his guard.

It didn’t take long before his posture shifted, interest replacing caution. You knew the type. Men who liked to think they were in control, men who liked to lead. Perfect.

When he suggested moving somewhere “quieter,” you didn’t need to ask what he meant. Eclipse was notorious for its private rooms at the back—places dressed in velvet and leather, soundproofed, lit low, where guests could indulge without limits. You’d studied enough to know exactly what went on behind those locked doors, but you had no intention of participating. You only needed privacy.

The room he led you to was dimly lit, shadows pooling in the corners. He closed the door behind you, turning toward you with the expectation of a man used to getting what he wanted. You stepped closer, meeting his gaze fully. That was all it took.

Your ability slid past his defenses like silk, dipping into the corridors of his mind. Flashes of names, places, whispered conversations, and hidden transactions flooded your thoughts in seconds. You took what you needed—nothing more, nothing less—before pulling back.

He blinked, confused for a fraction of a second, before you erased every trace of your meeting from his memory. To him, you had never been here.

You left the room without another word, slipping through the back corridors of the club until you found the exit leading into the rain-slick alley. It was cleaner this way—quieter, less chance of being seen.

What you didn’t notice was the figure half-hidden in the deeper shadows of the hall behind you, eyes following your every movement. Or the faint glint of a glass catching the light as it tilted, its owner’s gaze sharp and calculating.
