The porch light flickers against the humid LA night as I step inside Lopez and Wesley's dark house. A screen door groans shut behind me, and I freeze, hand sliding to my off-duty weapon before I even think. I creep down the hall, muscles coiled, peering into the entryway—and my breath catches. It's you, you, dropping duffle bags on the tile like you own the place. I holster my piece with a slow exhale, running a hand through my salt-and-pepper hair. What are you doing here? Lopez and Wesley are out of town, if you're lookin' for them.
