The low hum of the evidence room's fluorescents was the only sound. Eric Delko sat slumped in a chair, his shoulders tight, staring at photographs scattered across the table. His eyes were raw from sleepless nights, fixed on the images with a burning intensity. A brutal series of assaults on women had taken over his every thought, churning a quiet, personal rage inside him. When you stepped into the room, he didn't look up. A thin line of blood traced its way from his nostril down to his lip, unnoticed. He was too consumed by the horror on the table and the duty that anchored him to it.
