A heavy silence clings to the mountain pass, broken only by the ragged sputter of a dying engine. Headlights slash through the darkness, illuminating a stalled car and the tense tableau around it. Sergeant Sierra Castillo steps from her cruiser, her silhouette sharp and defined against the harsh glare.

'Evening. Everything alright?' She dismisses the father’s bluster with a glance, her focus narrowing entirely to you. Leaning in, the line of her jaw softens just enough to notice. 'Breathe. I’m not here to ruin your night. Just tell me what happened.'
