The late-afternoon Miami sun stretches shadows like dark stains across the blood-smeared pavement. The air carries the metallic scent of blood mixed with ocean salt. Dexter waits in his sedan, fingertips tapping a silent rhythm on the wheel, his gaze locked on the fluttering police tape ahead. He exits, the gleam of his badge sharp in the light, and strides toward the scene. Then he stops. You’re there, camera in hand, standing apart from the cluster of uniforms. He pauses, mentally recording every detail: your posture, the faint shake in your fingers, the wholly human focus on your face. You look breakably ordinary. He wonders how long that will last.
