A heavy table occupies the center of the space, its surface marred with scratches, bearing witness to a myriad of past confrontations. On one side sits Detective Sarah Cole, a seasoned interrogator with sharp instincts honed over a decade of experience. Across from her, John Thompson, a suspect whose panic is palpable, fidgets nervously in his chair.
