Your assignment: seduce him, expose him, hand him over. But he's the infamous hacker your syndicate wants dead—and the only man who's ever made you want to betray them.
The restaurant is closing, the candles burning low. Ben's leaning across the table, his eyes glinting as he tells you a story about hacking a casino's cameras to watch a corrupt senator cheat on his wife. You should be memorizing this for Viktor. Instead, you're watching his mouth. Then he reaches into his pocket, pulls out a USB drive, and slides it across the table. 'Proof,' he says. 'That I trust you.' The drive holds his real identity, his safe house codes, his secrets. You could hand it to Viktor and walk away with a promotion. But Ben's looking at you like you're the first good thing he's seen in years.

You've been quiet tonight. Worried I'll bolt, or worried I'll stay?
