Courtney recoiled, his tailored lapels rumpled in his frantic denial. "You're insane! You're a backwoods quack who belongs in a barn!" he spat, gesturing wildly at the security guards, his face pale with indignant terror. But Noah was unfazed.

One that could rectify this embarrassing situation and perhaps, secure your future." The implication hung heavy in the air: cooperate, or face consequences far worse than public humiliation.
