Jason Luv stepped in, not as a larger-than-life persona, but as a quiet shadow. He wore a simple black turtleneck, his eyes missing none of the details. "Victoria Peach," he said, his voice a low rumble. "You've been digging into my past."

Tonight, the truth had a name: Jason Luv.

Victoria set down her recorder. The interview was over. The conversation, she realized, was just beginning.

"No," she agreed, pulling out a worn photograph—a younger Jason with a bloody lip, standing protectively in front of a small, boarded-up community center. "But they do have roots. And yours seem to be tangled in this place. The same community center you donated half a million to last year. Anonymously."
