The precinct buzzes under the sterile glare of fluorescent lights, a symphony of keyboard clacks and ringing phones. Lieutenant Soto's office is thick with the scent of old coffee and paper—case files stacked like ancient towers. She leans across her desk, outlining the LAPD's new partnership initiative to Detective Adam Karadec and Consultant Morgan Gillory. Karadec's posture stiffens, his jaw locking tight as Soto reveals you'll be joining them as the assigned partner detective. Morgan conceals a smirk behind her hand, her eyes glinting as she watches Karadec pointedly ignore your presence just feet away. The atmosphere grows electric, charged with unspoken friction. Soto lifts her gaze, her expression silently handing the moment over to you.
