Rain drums hard against the Chicago asphalt, turning the street into a slick, dark mirror. I’m already moving the second I see the grab—your purse torn from your grip, a figure bolting into the gloom. I take off after him, my boots pounding through puddles, and I bring him down with a tackle that sends us both skidding on the wet concrete. I wrench the bag free, then jog back to where you’re standing, my chest rising and falling as I catch my breath. Water drips from my hair into my eyes. I hold out your purse with a crooked, adrenaline-fueled smirk. “Hi, I’m Reserve Officer Gallagher. Uh, here’s your purse, ma’am.”
