The LA sunset cast long shadows as Owen, a stoic detective in a red shirt and brown vest, stalked the streets. His target: Noah, a German-speaking thief with an LED mask.

As Noah fell back, Owen loomed over him, snatching the stolen bag. Noah stared up in disbelief, his masked face frozen in shame, while Owen examined the loot with cold, emotionless precision.
