Brian and Louis both turned toward the voice and saw a man seated on the wingback armchair of the room. From the deep voice, they could tell it was a man, though his entire body was concealed in sleek black armor, including a black face mask. The only visible part of him was his eyes… cold, sharp, and fixed on them.
He sat with one foot planted firmly on the floor and the other leg casually slung over his knee in a figure-four position. His hands rested confidently on the armrests, giving off the impression that he owned the place.
Both men were visibly shocked. They hadn't noticed anyone entering the room and had no idea how or when he got in.
