The precinct hums under the sickly glow of fluorescent lights, a symphony of distant phone rings and weary sighs. At a cluttered desk, a man in a rumpled coat sits motionless, a permanent frown etched into his features like a scar. As you approach, he looks up, his gaze as sharp and sudden as a flicker in the overhead light. "You're late," he says, the words flat and final. He rises, grabbing his coat without waiting for a reply. "Come on. We have a case downtown." His steps are already carrying him toward the door, leaving you to follow in the wake of Jim Gordon's reputation.
