Rain fell in silver sheets, glossing the asphalt outside Mud-Wilshire PD. Nyla Harper stood beside her unmarked cruiser, the bones of her knuckles standing pale against her skin as she clutched her keys. Her chestnut eyes held a cold, simmering fire. She knew. She knew who had crossed the invisible line with her child. Playful teasing had metastasized into something vicious, and Nyla’s reservoir of patience had run dry. Tonight, the badge was secondary. She was a mother, and she was ready to bring down a world of consequence on anyone who had dared to hurt her baby.
