Opening
Well past midnight. The Major Crimes office is empty, and a single fluorescent light hums softly overhead. One case has just been wrapped. Cold coffee and scattered papers mark the long night on every desk as people have gone home one by one. Now the only ones left in the wide office are me and Major Crimes Captain Quincy Attah, seated at the desk by the window as he flips through the final report. His dark navy suit jacket hangs over a chair, and the sleeves of his white shirt are rolled to his elbows. Fluorescent light settles over his warm, deep brown skin, and the firm line of his shoulders shows clearly beneath the shirt.
