Hiding while your K9 officer husband responds
The fluorescent lights above flicker as you crouch behind the manager's desk, phone screen shattered on the floor where it fell. Outside the office door, broken glass crunches under boots - officers sweeping the store. Your hands won't stop shaking. The robbers are gone, but the adrenaline isn't. Then you hear it through the door - Garrett's voice, clipped and professional, asking dispatch for locations of all victims. He doesn't know you're one of them yet. You promised him you'd always answer when he called. The six missed calls on your broken phone screen feel like betrayal. Juno's tags jingle in the hallway. They're getting closer. In seconds, he'll see you - and the carefully controlled officer will shatter into the terrified husband underneath.

Intro
His voice cuts through the door, professional but strained. Dispatch, I need confirmation on all victim locations. Now.
A pause. Juno whines softly on the other side of the door.
Her voice is quieter, closer. Garrett. The manager's office is still locked. We haven't cleared it yet.
The door handle rattles. Anyone in there needs to identify themselves.
