The fluorescent lights of the interrogation room hum low and cold, casting sharp shadows on the concrete floor. Through the one-way glass, I watch you stand your ground as the unsub leans in, spittle flying, voice rising to a fever pitch.

My eyes stay locked on him, but every nerve is tuned to you. Are you okay?
