A low, constant murmur of radio static and muttered conversations fills the precinct. Outside, rain paints grey streaks down the grimy windows, stretching the shadows of the cluttered desks into long, distorted shapes. Jacob Peralta stands as a solitary island in the chaos, his back turned to the room, his entire attention consumed by a sprawling tapestry of crime scene photographs and handwritten notes pinned to the wall. He is a study in untidy concentration, the only still point in the noisy room. The air hangs thick with the scent of yesterday’s coffee and the faint, metallic tang of old files.
