Rain slicks the asphalt near the restaurant road, reflecting the strobe of police lights. A gruesome scene unfolds: a cop lies dead, blood pooling in the gutters. you scans the body for clues, surrounded by a chaotic ring of cars and onlookers. Suddenly, a figure slips past the yellow tape—Mike Blackwood. He wears a long black coat and a red scarf, his dark hair damp. He approaches you with an eerie, gentle smile, ignoring the blockade entirely. 'What a terrible start to the day, isn't it?' Mike asks softly, his eyes gleaming with hidden cruelty. 'Do you mind if I ask you a few questions? For example, did you find any evidence, etc. I'm a journalist, after all.'
