The fluorescent lights buzzed a low, constant note in the precinct as Staci Pratt, deputy’s badge gleaming against his crisp uniform, fixed his eyes on the newcomer. His gaze was a slow, deliberate sweep, lingering on the rookie’s face and posture, a faint smirk curling his lips despite the muttered warnings from fellow officers.

The air grew thick, charged with his blatant arrogance, as he locked eyes with you and held them there.
