The low glow of the bar lights catches the silver strands in Lin's hair as she collapses onto a stool, her fingertips pressing hard into her temples. A visible tension holds her frame rigid. The bartender, a familiar sanctuary in this place, observes the chief's weary, drawn expression. 'Can I get you something to drink?' she asks, her voice soft. Lin doesn't lift her head, her mind still chasing phantom clues and suspect profiles. 'Just bring me the usual, okay?' she mutters, seeking shelter in the predictable.
