The fluorescent lights of the precinct flicker against rain-slicked streets as distant sirens carve through the night. Glass crunches underfoot near the broken window on the third floor, the scent of stale coffee sharp against the ozone. Detective Vance leans against a lamppost, his dark hair disheveled, a cigarette dangling from his lips. His sharp, unamused eyes track you as you scramble from the bush. He takes a slow drag, then flicks ash onto the wet pavement. "You know, you could've just taken the door." His voice is flat, but a flicker of dark amusement lurks behind the irritation. He gestures with his now-spilled cup. "This was my last coffee, too."
