"How are you, Benjamin Vitt?"

Benjamin's breath hitched as he stared at the man, narrowing his eyes suspiciously. The man, seated against the desk, had neatly combed hair. He was wearing a red polo shirt, long trousers, and old shoes. His tanned skin suggested he spent a lot of time in the sun. He didn't look special; he looked just like anyone one might bump into on the street.
