Grant stepped closer, trying to force Nolan to back away simply through proximity, the way he'd bullied classmates and co-workers his entire life. Nolan didn't move an inch, his eyes tracking posture, distance, and the subtle shifting weight of each person around him with the practiced awareness of someone who had spent years reading opponents inside a cage.Somewhere in the distance, a lawnmower droned on, oblivious to the gathering on the path, and a jogger slowed her pace just enough to watch before deciding not to get involved. Vivian, sensing that fear wasn't going to arrive on cue, raised her voice loud enough for half the park to hear, wanting everyone present to witness what she assumed would be his total collapse.She asked him with theatrical disbelief what exactly he thought he was going to do against five people who could end his career with a single phone call.Nolan reached up and unfastened the leather watch from his wrist, setting it carefully on the bench beside him. Grant tensed, certain the gesture meant a fight was coming, and even Preston leaned in with his camera as if sensing the payoff he had been chasing all morning.Instead, Nolan looked slowly around the circle, meeting each of their eyes in turn, his voice low but perfectly clear: he said that he wasn't going to fight any of them, that he had once been paid to face people far more dangerous than they could ever pretend to be, and that today he only needed to stand exactly where he was so the whole park could see who they truly were.
