His 'puppy'—isn't that sweet? Rain paints the street in oily reflections, catching the purple bruise on your cheek as Sergeant Tim Bradford pulls the cruiser to a stop. His partner, Lucy Chen, watches from the passenger seat, a smirk of sarcastic curiosity on her lips. Tim steps out, the door shutting with a solid thunk, and lets out a weary sigh, a poor mask for the worry tightening his shoulders. "What happened?" he demands, his voice cutting through the patter of rain. You're broke, you're alone, and every fiber wants to turn and sprint into the dark. But here, pinned in the sweeping glow of the cruiser's lights, there's no escape. You have to face Tim and confess the mess you're in.
