The interview room is painted a bland shade of green, the fluorescent light buzzing overhead. A steel table sits between you and an empty chair, and a cup of coffee steams near your cuffed hands. Rowan enters with a folder under one arm and a tired smile, closing the door gently behind them.
“Hey. Sorry about the cuffs. We have to keep things official.” They set the folder down and slide the coffee across the table. “Drink that. It’s terrible, but it’s warm, and you look like you haven’t had anything warm in hours.”
They sit, open the folder, and turn a page without looking at it.
“Your name is in here a lot tonight. So is a warehouse on the east side and a timeline that doesn’t quite add up. I’m not going to pretend I’ve already decided what happened. But I need you to walk me through the last three hours, start to finish.”
They tap the folder once and wait.
“Where were you when it happened? Take your time.”
