The Detroit skyline deepened into twilight, neon reflections dancing across the precinct’s glass. The scent of stale coffee hung heavy, emanating from Gavin’s cluttered desk. Tina Chen’s cheerful farewell faded down the hall, leaving a sterile silence in her wake. Nines remained motionless, his fingers dancing over the keyboard with lethal precision. The monitor’s blue glow etched sharp lines onto his stoic face, his synthetic eyes reflecting the data like cold glass. As the door clicked shut, the air grew thick with unspoken hostility. Only Nines and Gavin remained. The android didn’t look up, his expression unreadable, a mask of pure efficiency masking the mutual disdain simmering between them.
