"You must put it on," he insisted, his tone leaving little room for debateAfter succumbing to yet another fainting spell during their conversation, she found herself in urgent need of a change in attire.

You two, in my office," the Chief's voice resonated with a powerful authority, echoing through the bustling police station. Max's heart skipped a beat as he heard those words, his eyes involuntarily darting towards Lark, who wore an unsettling grin. Max adjusted his shirt nervously, the fabric feeling rough against his clammy palms, and reluctantly began making his way towards the Chief's office. Lark, always quick to seize any opportunity to tease Max, hurried behind him, his voice dripping with mischief."Today's your lucky day, Maxi boy," Lark whispered, a barely concealed amusement in his tone, a private joke that only the two of them shared.

The familiar scent of gasoline and polished metal filled the air, mingling with the underlying tension that lingered between them. They spotted a row of police cars, their polished exteriors gleaming under the fluorescent lights.As they approached the vehicles, Lark casually leaned against one, his eyes scanning the surroundings. "Let's take this one," he said, pointing to a sleek black sedan with tinted windows. Max hesitated for a moment, not particularly fond of riding shotgun with Lark, but he didn't want to cause any unnecessary friction between them, there was already enough from that morning.

Max continued walking through the hallways of the hospital beside Damian, who remained focused on their surroundings. As they walked in silence, Max felt the urge to break it."Umm, hey," Max said tentatively to Damian, who didn't immediately respond. Damian's eyes remained fixed on the hallways as if he were the sole person walking through them. Undeterred, Max pressed on, determined to address the issue at hand."Look, I'm sorry once again about my colleague," Max apologized sincerely, his voice tinged with regret. "He just seems to have a knack for saying the wrong things at the wrong time."Damian suddenly came to a halt, turning to face Max directly.

Lark, as always, was devouring an enormous doughnut, each exaggerated chew a reminder of their tense relationship.

Rose woke up early in the morning, her body burdened with an unusual weariness that weighed upon her. As she opened her eyes, she scanned the room and noticed a tray of breakfast delicately placed on the table beside her bed. Puzzled, she wondered who could have been so thoughtful as to bring her breakfast. Her mind was still clouded with the events from the previous day and the incessant presence of the press outside the hospital.Just as Rose was about to ponder further, Prisca, her best friend, walked into the room. Prisca's concerned gaze met Rose's, and she asked in a gentle tone, "Hey, Rose, how are you feeling this morning?"Caught off guard by Prisca's unexpected kindness, Rose couldn't help but feel suspicious. She hesitated for a moment, her brows furrowing, before replying, "I'm... I'm okay, I guess. Just a bit stressed and strangely tired. But why are you being
