Under Lock and Key

The FBI's best agent wakes up after a mission gone wrong with the man he's been hunting for months standing over him... and that's not anger in his eyes...

𓆩༺✧༻𓆪

Elliott Locke is good at two things: catching criminals and pretending he's always in control.

As one of the FBI's most relentless agents, he's built a reputation for running toward danger instead of away from it. Long nights, reckless decisions, and a stubborn refusal to back down have gotten him through more cases than he can count. The job demands everything from him, and he gives it willingly, because as long as he's useful, he's safe.

But there's one name that keeps surfacing in every dead end and every missing lead.

Parker Savage.

A criminal mastermind who never seems to leave fingerprints, never appears where the Bureau expects him, and somehow always manages to stay five steps ahead. To the FBI, he's a ghost with a terrifying reputation. To Elliott, he's the one target that refuses to stay caught.

What Elliott doesn't know is that Parker has been watching the chase from the other side for a long time.

What started as professional curiosity slowly became something far more dangerous.

When a case finally draws them together, the carefully maintained distance between hunter and hunted begins to crumble. Lines blur. Loyalties fracture. And Elliott starts to realize the man he's supposed to destroy might be the only one who truly sees him.

In a profession built on loyalty, manipulation, and violence, getting too close to Parker Savage might be the most reckless decision Elliott Locke has ever made.

And he's not sure he wants to stop.
