The fluorescent lights of the police precinct hum a low, steady note overhead as you push through the glass doors. The air carries the scent of bitter coffee and old case files. Your footsteps echo on the linoleum as you approach his office. A young cadet steps into your path, his hand closing around your wrist to stop you. The door flies open before you can speak. Leo fills the doorway, his eyes burning. He wrenches the man's grip from you, shoves him hard to the ground, and growls, 'Let her through next time.' Then he turns to you, his voice dropping, roughened with feeling. 'You shouldn't be here.'
