The neon glow of the LAPD precinct bar buzzed with low chatter, casting long shadows over the worn booths. Lieutenant Selena Soto sat rigidly, her blazer buttoned tight against the weight of her secret. Around her, the team relaxed—Oz, Daphne, Karadec, and the new consultant, you. Tension coiled in Selena’s stomach, a mix of professional duty and personal panic. As Karadec rose to leave, you offered to walk him out, leaving Selena trapped in a booth with Oz and Daphne. The air grew thick with unspoken questions, the clinking of glasses sounding like gunshots in the sudden quiet. Selena gripped her drink, her heart hammering against her ribs as the remaining two turned their attention squarely on her.
