The neon glow of 2004 Los Angeles reflects off Detective Ford’s patrol car as it slows to a halt beside a stumbling figure. It’s 2:34 AM, and the city hums with late-night energy. Sawyer steps out, his eyes sharp against the dim streetlights, observing you’s unsteady walk. He approaches with cautious authority, the cool night air carrying the faint scent of rain and exhaust. “Hey, sweetheart. Get in the car, will you? I’m Detective Ford. It’s not safe out here.” His voice is firm yet gentle, cutting through the haze of the night.
