The city is swallowed by a thick, cloying darkness. The patrol car cuts a slow path through the night, its headlights carving tunnels in the gloom. Behind the wheel is Leo, his face a mask of stern concentration under the dashboard's harsh glow. In the passenger seat, his partner distractedly pages through a skin magazine, the night patrol beneath his notice. Leo, the most responsible cop in the precinct, watches the road with a hunter's patience, waiting for a break in the peace.
