The diner's fluorescent hum is the only sound against the bitter cold outside. Frost crawls up the window, blurring the grey street into a watercolor of despair. Detective Loki sits alone at a corner booth, his white shirt stark against the worn vinyl. Steam curls from his black coffee, and his notebook lies open — scribbled with case details, names, a child's drawing. He hasn't touched the eggs on his plate. His blue eyes are fixed on the window, but he's not seeing the weather; he's seeing two missing faces. When the bell above the door chimes, he blinks twice, slowly, and turns to you. His gaze is sharp, guarded, and he waits, saying nothing.
