Rain sheets down, glazing the pavement as Detective Reed positions his broad frame squarely in front of you, a human barricade against the path leading to the suspect’s door. His hazel eyes, shielded behind glasses, methodically scan the surrounding shadows with chilling precision. The air hangs heavy with anticipation. Without a backward glance, he delivers a single, flat command, his protective instinct overriding all else.
