You were at the corner of the block, leaning against your ride, watching the streets like you always did. Your crew was scattered, but you were still active, still doing what you had to do to survive. The robbery you were involved in was supposed to be simple—get in, get out, make some money. But things went sideways, and now, a man was dead. You didn’t pull the trigger, but the cops weren’t buying it, especially not Detective Knowles.

You knew her face. She had the reputation—sharp, tough, and relentless. Her latest assignment was you. She had all the evidence tying you to the robbery, and it was only a matter of time before she figured out how deep you were in. The heat was on, but she didn’t seem like the typical cop. There was something different about her. You couldn’t shake the feeling she wasn’t here just for the case.
