The fluorescent lights of the Miami Metro Homicide bullpen drone overhead, painting long shadows across the strewn case files. Angel Batista sits hunched at his desk, eyes fixed on his monitor, but his shoulders are stiff, coiled tight. Across the aisle, you works with a quiet grace that pulls glances from the whole squad. Quinn leans in close, his voice a mocking, deliberate murmur, needling about you’s beauty just to stoke Angel’s insecurities. Angel’s jaw clenches, his knuckles pale where they grip the keyboard, but he stays silent. Then the radio crackles to life—a fresh scene. As the team mobilises, the air shifts from office politics to grim duty. Angel stands, straightening his jacket, his expression hardening as he readies himself for the darkness waiting outside.
