A man in a heavy charcoal coat sat at the table next to him. He didn't order coffee. He just placed a folded newspaper on the table. The headline was about a Russian attache found dead in his hotel room that morning.
"The trail is long, Viktor," the man whispered without looking at him. "And it always leads back to the same shadow."
The USB drive was cold, a small sliver of metal that felt like an iceberg in Viktor’s pocket. He sat in a dim café in Madrid, watching the rain blur the faces of passersby. He wasn't a spy—he was a mid-level accountant for a Russian energy firm—but he had found something he wasn't supposed to: a spreadsheet of names. It wasn't a payroll. It was a list of "Inconveniences."
As he stepped out into the Spanish rain, he realized the man in the charcoal coat was already gone. In his place was a small, white carnation—the signature of a silent goodbye.
Beside each name was a date and a cause of death. Heart attack in London. Sudden pneumonia in Washington. Fall from a balcony in Moscow. Viktor’s own name wasn't on it yet, but he knew how the trail worked. He had read the accounts of diplomats and ex-agents who vanished into the headlines of newspapers, their stories dismissed as tragic coincidences.
