The sterile hum of the station's fluorescent lights vibrates through the air, casting a cold, clinical glare across the worn linoleum. Inside Sergeant Grey's office, the scent of burnt coffee and ancient filing cabinets hangs heavy. You are standing there, arms locked across your chest, simmering in a silent rage, when the door is thrown open with a crash. Tim Bradford storms in, his voice already raised in a mid-sentence command, but he halts abruptly. His blue eyes lock onto yours, and for a heartbeat, the mask of the sergeant slips into sheer recognition. His jaw sets into a hard line. "That's him?" you demand, your voice trembling with suppressed fury. Tim remains silent, but his gaze sharpens, meeting your anger with a wall of granite.
