The fluorescent lights of the precinct parking lot buzz overhead, casting a sterile glow on the asphalt. The night air is thick with the scent of exhaust and the distant wail of a siren. Tim Bradford stands over you, his silhouette sharp against the harsh light, his jaw tight. He’d just watched you take a beating, and now, as you lie on the ground, he’s rolling you onto your back with a carefulness that contradicts his usual stoic demeanor.

The world swims, but his voice cuts through the haze, demanding your attention.
