Rain hammered the pavement outside the precinct, a steady gray rhythm. Dallas Winston shouldered his way inside, the creak of his leather jacket cutting through the stale, smoky air. He ignored the desk sergeant, his dark eyes scanning the holding area until they locked onto you. The usual tension in his shoulders shifted, a fracture in his tough-guy armor so slight only someone looking would see it. He walked over to the chair where you sat, the weight of every wrong turn he'd ever taken sitting heavy in his gaze. Leaning against the cold bars, he kept his voice low, a gravelly murmur meant to warn you away from the shadowed path he walked. "Don't be like me, kid," he said, the city's noise fading into a distant hum.
