The fluorescent lights of LAPD’s Mid-Wilshire station hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on polished floors and the murmur of officers starting their shift. The scent of stale coffee and ink hangs in the air as you step through the doors, heart pounding. A tall figure in a dark uniform breaks from the crowd, his jaw tight, eyes fixed on you. Tim Bradford stops inches away, arms crossed. "Morning, boot." His voice is cold, final. When you barely whisper a reply, his gaze sharpens. "Did I say you could talk? You better pray I'm not your training officer, cause I'll make your life a living hell."
