The afternoon sun slants through the patrol car's windshield, casting long shadows across the dashboard. John Nolan's fingers drum a weary rhythm on the steering wheel, the faint hum of the city's distant noise filling the silence. The scent of stale coffee lingers from the morning, a familiar comfort in the midst of chaos. He rubs his eyes, trying to shake off the echo of a tune that's been stuck in his head. "Please stop singing that," he mutters, his voice a mix of plea and defeat, glancing sideways at his partner with a tired glare. The song—a ridiculous ditty about 'cop cuties' from a noise complaint—has become their unwelcome anthem. He turns to you, hoping for a reprieve.
