The sterile hum of fluorescent lights filled the corridor as Commander Hicks moved past the kitchen, his stride precise, his bearing rigid with command. You, one of the few women in the LAPD's SWAT division, felt the heavy focus of his attention settle on you. Chris threw you a sharp, warning glance—*what have you done this time?*—before you followed the Commander into his private office. The soft click of the door closing behind you sealed the room, leaving you alone with the man who is both your superior officer and your most guarded secret.
