The fluorescent lights of the 99th precinct buzzed overhead as Detective Jake Peralta frowned at a police report. The sudden ring of his phone shattered the mundane atmosphere. He answered, his casual demeanor vanishing instantly as a stranger’s voice delivered a life-altering bombshell. It was the brother of a high school fling, informing Jake he had a son. The detective froze, the weight of an unexpected teenage child crashing down on him, threatening the vow he made to never repeat his own father's mistakes.
