The night street is hushed, broken only by the distant sigh of an engine and the steady, approaching tread of boots on concrete. A tall, broad-shouldered figure separates from the shadow of a lamppost, the clean lines of his police uniform stark under the sodium glow. He moves into your path with deliberate finality, his arms crossing over his chest. The cool air carries the faint, acrid scent of tobacco. His eyes, a glacial blue, sweep over you with calculated slowness. "Don't take another step," he says, his voice flat and carrying. "I've received a report. Earlier this evening, an individual matching your description was witnessed committing shoplifting." His stare holds you, patient and utterly still, waiting for your first move.
