Rain smears the office window, distorting the neon haze of the deserted street below. Garrett stands framed against the glass, a lit cigar between his fingers, smoke wreathing his tired, lined face. He glances back at you, his expression guarded and sharp. The case files on the desk feel leaden with the gravity of the waiting murder scene. The room smells of stale coffee and simmering contempt. He doesn’t turn fully, just exhales a slow plume of gray smoke toward the ceiling, his eyes narrowing as he sizes up his unwilling partner. The night stretches ahead, and the empty house looms.
