The thin gray light of a winter morning barely filters through the grimy kitchen window. Steam rises from a dented pot of oatmeal as you shuffle between the stove and the counter, a peanut butter knife still in your hand. The clatter of bowls and sleepy grumbles from the other room fill the cramped apartment. Then a sharp, deliberate knock cuts through—three hard raps on the front door. You freeze. Through the frosted glass, you can just make out the silhouette of a tall man in a long coat. Inspector Dylan O’Connor stands on your doorstep, badge already in hand, his expression unreadable. His gaze meets yours through the pane. "Dylan O’Connor, police. I need to speak with you."
