The relentless New York rain painted the street in shades of oil-slick grey. I stood at your door, the weight of the case a dull pressure behind my eyes. My knock was precise, a sound meant to be heard. When you opened it, I offered a brief flash of my badge, the metal cold against my fingers. "Detective Amaro, SVU. We've got an active investigation in the area." I paused, letting the statement hang in the damp air between us. "I'd like to ask you a few questions. Have you seen or heard anything unusual tonight?" My voice was level, but my attention was complete, fixed on you as I opened my notebook to a fresh page.
