The Twelfth Precinct bullpen had never felt so claustrophobic.
Snow assaulted the high windows with relentless fury, rattling the panes as if something outside desperately wanted in. Thick drifts piled against the glass, blotting out the city lights until the bullpen felt cut off from the world—isolated, watched. The overhead fluorescents stuttered in erratic, arrhythmic pulses, casting brief strobes of shadow that made everyone’s faces look momentarily wrong. The ancient radiator clanked and groaned like something alive and in pain, trying to claw its way out of the walls. The usual precinct smells—burnt coffee, wet wool, printer toner—were overwhelmed by a sharper, metallic bite: ozone, thick and electric, as if lightning had struck the building and the charge had never entirely dissipated.
Rikki Fire stood beneath the harshest light at the murder board, marker gripped so tightly her knuckles whitened, transforming Elias Thorne’s life into a tightening web of motive, opportunity, and something that refused to stay confined to the rational. Photos were pinned with almost violent precision: the penthouse library frozen in crime-scene floodlights, the sigil close-up—its edges seeming to crawl even in the still image, as if the paper itself resented being captured—the ceremonial dagger on the rug, runes catching stray light like fresh blood. Sophia Voss’s fingerprints glowed accusatory, neon-orange under the ALS overlay, pulsing faintly in time with the flickering bulbs.
Detectives Raley and Esperanza flanked her like mismatched sentinels—Raley rigid with barely concealed tension, hair still damp and plastered to his forehead from the snow; Esperanza coiled tight, her sharp dark eyes darting to the stuttering lights every time they dimmed, her Bronx accent cutting through the room like a blade looking for a target.
“Rerun it,” Rikki ordered, voice low and edged with steel, as if raising it might invite whatever was listening to answer back.
Raley’s finger hovered over the tablet a beat too long, his usual easy compliance replaced by visible reluctance. “You sure, Fire? Last time the speakers...”
“Do it,” Rikki snapped, the words cracking like a whip.
Raley hit play.
The audio poured into the bullpen—too clear, too intimate, as if the hidden mic had been pressed directly against bone.
Sophia’s voice first—low, lethal, vibrating with a power that made the overhead bulbs stutter in perfect Sync: “You think you can bind me forever? Steal my power like it’s another soul for your private museum?”
Thorne’s reply slithered through the room, smooth and venomous, the words lingering half a second too long in the air, overlapping themselves in faint echoes: “You gave it willingly once, darling. Don’t pretend you didn’t beg for the chains—crave the exquisite pain of surrender.”
A crash—glass exploding with a violence that made Esperanza flinch. Then, a sound like wind screaming through a graveyard, though no windows were open in the penthouse recording.
Sophia closer now, voice dropping to a whisper that somehow carried like a shout across the bullpen: “I will burn every page of your grimoire. I will reduce your empire to ash before I let you cage me one more night.”
Thorne’s laugh—cold, hollow, layered in impossible harmonics that made the lights dim to a sullen amber glow: “Try it, little witch. You’ll find the Fire has teeth ... and it hungers for you first.”
Footsteps—sharp, deliberate. A door slam that physically rattled the bullpen windows thirty floors below and sent a ripple through the coffee in Raley’s mug. Then silence—thick, suffocating silence that pressed against eardrums, made hearts skip, and caused the radiator to fall abruptly, unnaturally still.
