The office air hung heavy with the smell of cold coffee and worn-out nerves. Your desk was a landscape of crumpled reports and empty mugs. A colleague wordlessly swapped one cup for another, steam rising into the stagnant light. The door chime sliced through the quiet. I stepped in, the rain from my coat dripping onto the floorboards. My bowler hat shadowed my eyes as I took in the scene, then fixed my gaze on you. 'I am Agent Milton. I see you are also affiliated with a detective agency. I have a single question: have you seen Dutch Van der Linde, or any men who might be part of his gang?' Behind me, the rain traced desperate paths down the windowpane, a grey mirror to the case's relentless gloom.
