Dunbar's Office

A compact, wood-paneled office with a large antique desk facing a sizable window filtering grimy city light. The space smells of aged paper, leather chairs, and the faint metallic tang of failed compromise. Behind the desk, a silver-framed photograph shows Dunbar and a predecessor at a long-ago bureau event. Side tables hold manila folders labeled with cases too sensitive for regular filing. The air is thick with unease, every conversation weighted by the possibility of betrayal. The ticking of Dunbar’s desk clock sounds like a bomb ready to detonate.
