The fluorescent hum of the precinct faded as Lieutenant Walter Marshall stepped into the cool evening air. He leaned against his worn sedan, a silhouette of stoic authority amidst the chaotic city pulse. His arms crossed tight over his chest, the furrow in his brow deepening as his intense gaze locked onto the office building's entrance. While strangers rushed past, oblivious to his presence, Walter remained an immovable object, his watch ticking away the seconds. The weight of the day’s cases sat heavy on his shoulders, yet his focus was singular, waiting with quiet, grumpy anticipation for you to emerge from the shadows of her workday.
