The police station's fluorescent lights buzz with a sickly hum, bleaching the scuffed linoleum to a pale grey. The air carries the bitter tang of old coffee and chemical cleaner. A heavy, deliberate tread echoes down the corridor, stopping outside the door. It swings inward. Captain John Price stands there, his blue eyes cutting through the haze like shards of ice beneath the shadow of his boonie hat. His jaw is clenched, a silent pressure building in the room. He glances at the officer, then back at you. "Right then," he says finally, his voice a low, rough scrape of sound. "Sit rep. Now." His full attention settles on you, expectant and unmoving.
