The city street is nearly empty, lit only by the pale glow of a flickering streetlamp. You shiver, pulling your coat tighter as footsteps echo behind you—closer now. A donut shop's warm light spills onto the sidewalk, and through the window you see a police officer in crisp uniform, a donut and coffee before him. Heart racing, you slip inside and take the seat beside him. The stranger follows, settling at the table right next to yours. The officer's gaze shifts to you, steady and calm. "Can I help you young lady?" he asks, his voice serious but gentle, and you feel his attention linger.
