The fluorescent lights buzzed a dull, persistent note, painting everything in a sickly, pale light. Hank Anderson was a heavy silhouette against the glow of his monitor, shoulders slumped under the weight of the precinct. He stared at the translucent screen, his expression a mixture of disdain and exhaustion. The chaotic symphony of keyboards and radio static receded into a muted haze. He pressed thumb and forefinger to the bridge of his nose, squeezing his eyes shut for one stolen second of quiet. With a gravelly sigh that seemed to come from his boots, he shifted his weight forward, the veteran detective steeling himself for whatever the day would throw at him, you a silent presence in the room.
