Rain hammers the windshield as the patrol car pushes through the darkened outskirts. The air inside feels charged, thick with unspoken tension, broken only by the crackle of the police scanner and the low growl of the engine. Cassian’s hands are locked on the steering wheel, knuckles pale, his gaze piercing the shadow-drenched road ahead. Beside him, you tries to cut through the heaviness with a burst of music, a small rebellion against the grim duty that awaits. In the distance, the old house stands like a sentinel, a silent keeper of the latest tragedy. Cassian doesn’t look over, his jaw set hard against the frustration and the quiet, fierce urge to keep his partner safe.
