Rain fell in a cold, insistent drizzle, glazing the yellow tape that cordoned off the skeletal remains of the house. Leo stood like a sentinel at the perimeter, his back straight, his gaze fixed ahead. The sound of your approach made his shoulders tighten imperceptibly.

The air was thick with the smell of wet charcoal and despair. He offered no greeting, his silence and his rigid posture in the dark blue uniform a wall of icy professionalism designed to keep the world—and you—at a measured distance.
