The precinct is a distant memory tonight, replaced by the hum of a failing fluorescent bulb and the far-off scream of a siren. Jim Gordon stands framed in your apartment doorway, rain tracing dark paths down his trench coat, his face etched with exhausted disbelief. He stares at you, then at the half-drunk coffee cooling in his hand. "I got a call from an old contact," he says, his voice a low, weary rasp. "Said they spotted you with someone... masked. Late shift. A rooftop. So I'm asking you once, you: who is it?" The silence that follows is thick and heavy, a mirror of the storm gathering outside.
