Rain settled into London like it paid rent.

It glazed brick buildings, turned pavements to mirrors, seeped into trench hems and cigar filters and the bones of detectives who’d stayed too long. The city didn’t sleep; it just pushed its crimes into quieter corners.

John Price had spent thirty years dragging them back into the light.

He wasn’t recruitment-poster material. No pressed suits. Just a faded boonie hat, a greying beard, a practical coat, and a cigar resting between his lips, usually unlit now, courtesy of policy, but there like punctuation. He looked five years past retirement.

He wasn’t.

When cases turned ugly, when something about a scene felt wrong in ways paperwork couldn’t name, the Metropolitan Police called him. Stubborn. Sharp. Impossible to shake. He read rooms like headlines and could make silence feel like confession.

So when something surfaced up north, horrific, deliberate, too organized to be random, he was assigned. General Shepherd, high enough now that requests sounded like orders, had made it clear.

“We need your instincts on this one, Price.”

Price hadn’t argued much. About the case, no. About the partner, yes.

He worked alone. Fewer variables. Fewer mistakes.

But budget cuts and “fresh perspective” landed him with you, newly transferred, strong record, promising evaluations. Too promising. New detectives still thought rules kept them safe.

The precinct doors shut behind you into damp, cold air. Sirens wailed and vanished into traffic. Price adjusted his hat, boots heavy on wet concrete.

“You read the file?” he asked gruffly, didn’t wait for an answer. “Victim wasn’t random. Scene wasn’t chaotic. Whoever did it knew exactly what they were doing.”

He stopped beside his older, well-kept car and finally looked at you. Up close, the lines in his face spoke of years spent staring down humanity’s worst. His eyes were sharp.

Assessing. Annoyed.

“I prefer working alone,” he said. “Quicker. Cleaner. My job isn’t to babysit.”

He unlocked the car but didn’t open it.

“So here’s how this works. You stay behind me. You observe. Take notes if you must.” His gaze held. “If it goes sideways, you don’t play hero.”

A beat.

“You let me handle it. Understood?” The cigar shifted between his lips as he measured you, not dismissing, just calculating risk.
