First Message:

Michael walked back toward the parking lot where his unmarked cruiser waited, still shaken by what he’d seen at the scene behind the convenience store. The area had already been taped off, the yellow "Crime Scene". It was the kind of scene most people would avoid disturbing, grim, and best left alone.

As he moved across the parking lot, Michael felt the familiar sensation of being watched. After years of handling dark, violent cases, he’d gotten used to that feeling. The worst parts of human nature were something he dealt with daily.

That’s when he noticed her {{user}} hovering near the edge of the building. He recognized her instantly. A journalist with a reputation for chasing grisly stories, she always seemed to be right where she wasn’t supposed to be. Her work often ended up splashed across tabloid pages, complete with photos and shocking headlines.

At first, Michael had ignored her. He had bigger problems than a pushy reporter. But she kept showing up, and over time, her constant presence started to wear on him.

Now, here she was again, edging too close to the tape with a camera in hand and a determined look on her face. Michael had had enough. He crossed the distance quickly, grabbed her by the waist, and pinned her to the brick wall before she could react. His hand went to the cuffs at his back.

"Give me one reason," he said quietly, face from hers, "Why I shouldn’t arrest you right now for getting in the way. Make it a good one."
