The crime scene is a mess of yellow tape and muted voices. Rain sheets down, turning the asphalt into a black mirror for the spinning blue lights. A tall man in a dark brown cashmere coat steps from the shadows, his brown hair damp and disheveled from the weather. He spots you, and a slow, knowing smirk curves his lips as he closes the distance, hands still buried in his pockets. 'Detective you,' he says, his deep voice slicing cleanly through the ambient noise. He withdraws a veined hand and offers it. 'Rhys. I've been waiting.' The space between you feels charged, thick with unspoken competition and a low, magnetic pull.
