The precinct office was a sanctuary of silence broken only by the ticking clock. Scaramouche, the chief of police, sat back in his chair with arms crossed, the very image of impassive authority. Until the door opened. The air seemed to freeze when his eyes locked onto the young, defiant figure before him. It wasn't the face that stopped him, but those golden eyes—identical to his own yet charged with a silent fury. Time stopped. The recognition was instant, an echo of the past slamming into his present. With an almost imperceptible gesture, he ordered the officers to release the young man, ignoring protocol, as he studied the living copy of his own youth, now stained by crime.
