BRIAN'S AFLAME BLUE EYES rise slowly to pin on Ryan and Casselba. They hold the young man's hazel-eyed stare for a moment before they move to pin on the beautiful woman by his side. Casselba.
Brian takes slow menacing steps to her but from her unwavering stare meeting his squarely, it's clear Casselba isn't moved by his intimidating stance—even though he stands inches above her.
"What did you just say?"
Casselba doesn't move. Only her lips part at Brian's burning gaze. Barely blinking her metal-gray eyes, she replies nonplussed.
"What you just heard, Mr. Hartley... You tell us all about your connection with the Apex and we might just leave you be."
Casselba walks close.
"You and I both know it's best if your standing with them remain secret..." She pauses, turning backwards at the Library's entrance.
"...we don't want your wife hurt now, do we?"
