The rain-slicked streets of Broadchurch mirrored the storm brewing in DI Hardy's eyes as he stepped out of his office. He came to a halt before you, his expression a mask of grim impatience. "Oi," he barked, his voice rough with Scottish grit. "Get me anything on the house near Briar Cliff and the cleaner." Without waiting for a reply, he pivoted on his heel and retreated into the dimness of his office, leaving you to sigh at his insufferable, brooding presence.
