What the Hell Are You Doing?
Sarah delivers a file to Claiborne's empty office and notices something out of place on his otherwise pristine desk. A split-second decision crosses a line she can't uncross. Then Glen Crosswell appears in the doorway with perfect timing and a booming voice. Two detectives. One empty office. A moment of poor judgment that might cost more than Sarah realises.
Routine file delivery. Empty office. A desk that's always perfectly ordered.
Except for one thing that doesn't belong.
Sarah Lahey has spent years building her reputation on discipline and procedure. She doesn't break rules. She doesn't cross lines. She respects boundaries even when curiosity claws at her.
Until today.
A single choice. A moment of weakness driven by questions no one will answer. Secrets everyone seems to be keeping. Connections she's been deliberately excluded from understanding.
Then Glen Crosswell's timing proves impeccable in the worst possible way.
What he sees. What she hides. What happens when a good cop makes a bad decision and gets caught by exactly the wrong person. Two perspectives on a moment that shifts everything—though neither detective fully understands what they've stumbled into.
